I can't bring myself to trust Sony anymore

the whole point with BC is that ps2 is the best console of all time...
why should you get it for free simply by buying a ps3, when you can simply buy a ps2 slim for less than 80$ now?

The point is that the ps2 will continue to sell, and it sells quite a bit every month. If ps2 BC were on the ps3, Sony would be in dire straits financially. They would have to bend over backwards to give customers for free, something which should be 80$.
Sure 360 has BC, but does 360 have ps2 BC? Actually it probably does, if you hacked your console.

Are you serious? That's like trying to justify Microsoft's overcharging on harddrives. Every system should be backwards compatible. Especially, if you know, it has been backwards compatible for awhile, I don't see any justification for taking that feature out.

please, MS hard drives are easily twice the price of a ps2, and do not offer the same experience of the ps2. 

Why don't you respond to the rest of my post before I just write the same thing again. Don't expect a company to cannibalize itself when it doesn't have to.

Face it, sony is still losing money on ps3s. If there was bc on the ps3, not only would they nearly kill the ps2s sales, but they would lose more money on ps3s when they are already poised to make a huge comeback while reinforced by the most purchased system of all time.
