I could just buy a PS2, but then I'd have to buy multiple memory cards, controllers, etc (since only 2 of my friends have a PS2). When/if I buy a PS3, I wouldn't need to buy extra controllers, since 4 of them have a PS3, and the PS3 has a virtual PS2 memory card, right? So, yes, BC is very important to me. |
I don't know if the 40gig (soon to be 80gig) supports it, but yes, you can transfer your saves onto the PS3. However, you'll need a roughly $15 adapter (memory card to USB) to be able to do it. When the PS3 first came out it was pretty much a use once and you're done adapter, which I thought was worthless. However, a few months later, they fixed it so you could transfer saves back to your memory card making it a viable way to store data between multiple cards and backing up your saves. You can also buy controller to USB adapters for your PS2 controllers. Obviously you wont be able to use any sixaxis controls and rumble probably wouldn't work unless certain adapters allow it (mine doesn't).
Anyway, back to the topic.
-I believe backwards compatibility is important because I still go back and play PS2 games from time to time. I still have my PS2 as well as component cables, but it's just easier to have do it with just one system, the PS3.
