Before the 40GB PS3.

"Backwards compatibility, as you know from PlayStation One and PlayStation 2, is a core value of what we believe we should offer. And access to the library of content people have created, bought for themselves, and accumulated over the years is necessary to create a format. PlayStation is a format meaning that it transcends many devices -- PSOne, PS2, and now PS3" - Phil Harrison, Sony, December 2006.

Why sony? why? why must you be so silly?

they are holding true to that but offering a console without it too. The 60 in Eurasia and the 40. 60 has B, the 40 doesn't. The 60 is getting a price cut so you get 2 games and the console for less. In the US you get the 80GB for 499 (soon) w/ motorstorm and the 40GB for $399 with Spiderman 3. They didnt change their game plan they just saw that there is a slowly declining amount of people who care about their old games. Really I do play my PS2 games sometimes but I much rather use my PS2 then PS3 even though most PS2 games look better on the PS3.

Did you really read Phil Harrison's sentence? "Core value". "necessary". "Playstation is a format".

They are decreasing the value of the Playstation brand with this measure. No matter whether you care about BC or not, the Playstation brand is now weaker.
