20 and 60 GB PS3s fetching high $ on Amazon JP because of b/c

[Domo-Kun]

I picked up my 20 GB used for $350, with two controllers and Dark Kingdoms (GAG).

I'm thankful every time I power it up that i bought it when I did, the non-BC would be a deal breaker for me for sure.

That being said, I understand Sony slashing EE to cut production costs, but I don't understand exactly why they can't just update the 40GB SKU for emulation, since the 80GB runs PS2 by way of software.
