I wonder if they removed the backwards compatibility intentionally, regardless of price. What I mean is that because the PS3 will not have the best BC many PS2 owners may buy a PS2 in the coming years to tuck away in case their system fails. I am one of those people, actually, since my PS2 is over 5 years old and has seen better days. This could help with their 10 year cycle they are shooting for. Strange that this comes from the company who brought us backwards compatibility.
