They could limit it to the more expensive SKU. If it costs them nothing to implement it and only a select few actually want it, then they may be willing to pay more for it. It would make sense from a financial perspective anyway, its like the difference between the Premium and Elite Xbox 360 consoles for example.

yeah, i dunno why they got rid of b/c completely to begin with. i think they should've kept it in the higher end model so at least it would be available for those who want it.

maybe putting too much of a dent in the PS2 hardware/software profit line I'd imagine.

Also, chips were pretty expensive to put into the PS3 i think...

When they drop the PS2 completely next year would be great to add the functionality (back) to the PS3s.
