am i the only one thinking Sony remove the BC to the new SKU is to make the perception of older SKU being "more valuable". The hardware/software part should be negligible.
Remember that a product doesn't have to cost $100 to product in order to sell for $200. You can make a product that cost $1 and sell for $200 as long as there's demand for it.
I think, however, in this case, Sony is not making the right move. They've been saying how important is BC to PS3 because of the huge library of the PS2. People can fall back on the PS2 games while waiting for PS3, but now, there's nothing to fall back on.
PS3 doesn't have enough titles to be considered its marketed value. Remember, value is largely based on demand. You can make a product costing you $1000 and people wouldn't pay $500 for it if the demand is lacking. Game library increases console demand. I think you can figure the rest out.
