Interest piqued yet again, but I'm not interested at the moment unless it's backwards compatible. I may buy it eventually most likely in the twilight of PS3 life just as I did PS2 slim.

Now I'm sure you know that won't come in these new models. Especially if it launches at $149 and $199.

The best we can hope for is they bring back BC via firmware update.


You know that's not possible right? Firmware can't create PS2 compatability, they need the emotion chip. Only an emulator would allow it, but I don't think they are going to go that route. It does seem they are stalling on porting PS2 games over so they must be planning something. How much does the emotion chip cost now? Maybe they figured out an effective way to include it. Imagine the sales if it is backwards compatible. Removing it during the redesign was probably out of neccessity, with this one it might be on the table.

sales wont change if its b/c or not.. the general public really dont care lol its only forum complainers
