I still own a playstation 2, so it's not a big issue for me.

Backward compatibility for PS1 games is though, because for some reason my PS2 can't play PS1 discs (even ones with no scratches what so ever).
I would send it to sony, but it's out of warranty and I don't plan to pay to play 1 game (FF8) and I don't trust the seedy guys at the local "mod/upgrade" shop to repair my console.

So now I'm sitting here with FF7 in one hand (that works, and that I don't want to play) and FF8 in the other (I do want to play but it's not supported by the 40gb PS3 according to the Sony website).

I'm going to say yes though, because it means I can't sell my PS2.

 

All versions of PS3's play PS1 games.

The word is that the new 80gigs won't. It was reported a few days ago.

On Topic:

BC for the PS3 doesn't matter to me because I don't have many of my old PS2 or PS1 games. I would like to have it but it's not a deal breaker. I feel the PS3 should be bought for PS3 games....or even Blu-Ray but that's it.
