Everyone gets this wrong, they took BC out of the PS3 to sell more PS3 games. They were seeing people buying PS2 games for their PS3s and skipping the PS3 software. Take out the BC and people have to buy PS3 games for their PS3. They loose money or break even on PS3 consoles, the real money is in the games, and I doubt there is much profit left in PS2 games now with the price down. They still have to give percentages out to publishers and developers for those. So start moving the 60 dollar games.
They'll put BC back in when PS3 software sales get to an accptable level.
I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"
"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"
"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"
