I am so bummed over the removal of BC, that makes a PS3 purchase at the end of gen for me very unlikely. Sony lost an end of gen customer in me, and i will probably buy a 360 come 2012-2014 unless BC is restored.

Edit: I'm not trying to troll, I just find it hard to be excited for an increase in HDD space at the sacrifice of the playback of over 1700 games.

you own 1700 games? With every year passing, BC becomes more and more obsolete. Unless you wanted to catch up on the games you missed last generation, or if you didn't own a ps2, BC is not a big deal. All Sony can do now is attempt to assimulate the sku's, so they become easier to understand for consumers.

 

I owned a PS2... and it's important to me.  Of course that's because i' have a vast library of PS2 games and I realize the fact that PS2's weren't made for the long hall.  (Almost as bad as 360s they are.)

It's why i'll probably pick up a used PS3 instead of new. Likely a 20 gig model once people stop acting like dinks charging more despite it's shortcomings because it's the most limited version.
