i think a lot of people are going to get even more confused with the 80gig cuz of the BC 80gig

 

This. There's less to choose from which is good but then people will get confused about the BC and they'll go "WTF?"

 

More than that, phasing out the software BC model guarantees that, even when the price of the console drops, long-time PS2 owners will be reluctant to upgrade. All in all, probably a bad move - but then, so was dropping BC in the first place.

Agreed, which is why I'm looking into purchasing a PS3 (60GB) with full B/C. They are a bunch of idiots. If the PS3 was enabled to fully enhance past games, they should have kept it in. Too bad that if Sony could have added extra enhancements on the games to make sure that upgrading PS2 users got more for what they purchased. Retarded Sony marketting...
