Not a big sample size but I've seen comment in a few places (not here though) from PS2 fans who lament the lack of b/c in PS3 and as a consequence are not buying PS3 at $299 / the equivalent price in their country.

Question is, how big is that group of PS2 fans, will they ever buy a non-b/c PS3 and if so at what price?

I'm thinking there's a substantial number of people in that group, I think they aren't going to buy until PS3 is down to $199, but they will buy non-b/c PS3 at that price. But I also think if Sony wanted to they could introduce a b/c sku at $299 when next they drop the price of the basic PS3 and sell a lot of consoles.

Theres' got to be a strategy to get that demographic into the current generation. But what's the best way? They need to be brought over to PS3 if the 10-year plan is going to be a reality for PS3.

I find that to be very sad. I don't play any PS2 games anymore, and there isn't any new ps2 games coming out.

Also, if they already have a PS2, why do they want a ps3 with b/c? Whats the point.. sad sad world.

I usually do not go around flaming anyone, but anyone that thinks that the ps3 is still too expensive JUST because of no b/c then they are just bat-shit crazy. Move on, there are better games, online, and blue-ray. 

BUY A XBOX

Yes because that has PS2 BC built in.........

IF you own a ps2 why would you need it? BUy a xbox 360

This thread is about people heard making comments about not buying a PS3 because it isn't BC with PS2 games and for the money they think it should e.  SO how does buying an Xbox 360 solve that issue with BC for the PS2?   I'll give you a few minutes to think of a good answer.

DUDE HALO!

You just shut him down, i do not think he is coming back lol.

edit: spoke to late lol

DUDE OFF-TOPIC, reported lololololololol

OT: I don't think there are that many people who want it back anymore btw.
