ultraslick the PS2 is a very unreliable machine. I have gone through 3 of them in 6 years. Part of the main appeal of the PS3 is that it's a reliable PS2. Or at least that was part of the appeal of it. I also live in a studio apartment with very little space. We don't all have the luxury of having lots of storage space.

I don't understand how you can call people who own PS2s "sworn enemies of the Sony empire." You should learn to accept that some people don't share your tastes in games, and not every PS2 owner is finding the PS3 appealing. It's not an issue of whether or not this deal is good. It's absolutely good, but that doesn't mean it's good for everyone and that doesn't mean it appeals to everyone. Respect that.

 Thankyou , I do respect that. This is why I used the "IMO"  And you are taking what I said out of context. I said soon EVEN the sworn enemies will find it hard to find reasons not to buy a PS3.

I doubt there are many sworn enemies of sony that have a PS2.            If a PS2 owner does not find the PS3 appealing, why would he get one? To only play PS2 games? That is hard to understand

I think you were offended that I called it a moot point, and that is because of the fact that there is an 80 gig model out there with the all important Backwards compatability.

We are arguing different points but yours is shrouded with subtilty. It is a shame that there is not a $400 model with BC, I agree with you there. Reguardless if the decision to take it out was a bad one- it still gets a model out there for $200 less than the previous price, and if you want the 80 gig, then that is now $100 less as well.

Point is- if this BC is really that big of a deal to you, and makes you reconsider buying one- then you obviously have made a simple decision- you dont want a PS3 at its new low price- whether that is the 40 or 80 gig.

For that I applaud you, and even respect you- because I couldnt pass it up.

Whos the richer man after I buy a PS3, and you dont?
