i definitely see your point, but you must realize that everyone here is in the minority of consumers. most probably don't know that it lacks backwards compatibility or even what that term means. it's not like it's explained on the box somewhere. i'm sorry, but if BC is important to you, spend the extra cash... or don't... or wait, pretty simple. it seems like no one even gives them credit for having dropped the price $200 in under a year, they are trying to make it more affordable, but all you guys see is the negative. BTW, if i could've got my PS3 with no BC for $300, i would've gladly traded in ALL my PS2 games the same day. they just sit on my shelves anyways.

Well, maybe we are just a small part of the market, but why the sales of the 80Gb and 60Gb boosted up with the launch of the 40Gb, are you sure that most of the people dont care about BC???

 

And, 200 price drop in the first year is not by any means something to be rewarder when they launched the console at $600... if the sales of the first 60Gb model were like the Wii ones... price cut my @ss
