A lot of folks sold their PS2s or traded them in for credit toward a 40gb. I remember Gamestop offering like $150 to $200 off a $599 PS3. Now, Gamestop is offering $50 off for your PS2 when you buy a PS3 - 40gb or 80gb.

People buy it for two reasons - as the comments reveal - as gifts or as the cheapiest BR player. And some folks were shocked it didn't play PS2 games. Unlike most of the informed ones on here, a lot of folks will never look on the back of the box and see that, a lot of folks see "PLAYSTATION" and will buy it. And several of us have invested hundreds, if not thousands on our PS library and to get rid of it makes absolutely no sense, especially when those core values (BC) and the ability to play your older games made owning a PS2 a no-brainer. 

So here's what you do, you take that PS3 back to the store and get store credit or a refund for the damn thing. If you got it as a gift, you ask for the receipt, and if they don't have one, just sell the damn thing on ebay.

Seriously, some of you guys make it seem that when someone buys it not knowing what it's missing, then it becomes this ball and chain that can't be removed.
