Extremely important.

1) conveniance of being able to play all your games on 1 system.
2) upscaling (Playing GC games in 480P on Wii is awesome)
3) Redundancy, having 2 systems that can play the same games means if 1 breaks down, you can still enjoy all the classics.

 

Edit: Wii isn't really upscaling GC games to 480P since they mostly had it to begin with, but almost nobody had the cables to use it on GC, so most are seeing 480P GC for the first time.

pretty much this, when i get a ps3 it will have BC for the ps2 so i guess i look for a launch unit. 

 

im still pissed the ended MS upgrade program, and rereleasing ps2 games on blue ray, much like the no umd transfer for the psp stinks to me of money grabbing (as does MS download service for classic games after they ended the BC patching ).  as for nintendo, i feel a little gouged but really have no issue with their current BC, i mean everything else had carts,
