What the hell is a Before Christ PS3?

HAHA!!!

The "BC" stands for "backwards compatibility."

And the to the OP:

You said you liked platformers, right, and you never had a PS2?  With a backwards compatible PS3, it wil allow you to play PS2 platformers like Jak & Daxter 1, 2, & 3; Sly Cooper 1, 2, & 3; and Ratchet & Clank 1, 2, & 3.  All great platformers.  Then you have Ratchet & Clank Future for the PS3 and its downloadable PSN title Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty.  And as you mentioned Little Big Planet.  And my personal GUESS would be that Sly and Jak will make it to the PS3 some day since all platformers mentioned are SONY onwed IP's.

 

 

So what do you recomend? That I get PS3, then PS2 this summer when its $100 and just burn through a ton of PS2 games then? Or get BC PS3 now? THing is, I probably won't play PS2 game suntil next summer, and I don't wnat MGS4. However, this is bascally the last chance to get a new BC PS3. Should I just get an 80 GB $400 PS3 now and a PS2 next summer?
