Forums - Sony - Unofficial "I Have a B/C PS3 and Don't Use the Feature

I'm getting sick of all the B/C whiners. So this is the thread for people who have an older PS3 with backwards compatibility but don't use it that often. Or hell, just for any PS3 user that could care less about B/C. Cutting costs to better compete with the Xbox > Appeasing the whiners.

true I got a 60gb and dont play my ps2 games on it lol



I've got a B/C unit, but I still play quite a few ps2 titles on it GoW2, FFX ->FFXII, Suikoden V, GT4 etc.
Not to say i don't play PS3 titles on it, i do. and sometimes PS1 games and PSN games if i'm in the mood.

Same I Have BC 60GB(upgraded to 160GB) PS3. Used the BC about a once or twice. That was about a year ago.......



8O GB Motorstorm package. Rarely use it. If I wanted it bad I would have kept PS2 instead of selling for like 35$

I've got 60gb sku and I've never used bc feature so far.



I got a 60GB at the USA launch. It was good having B/C for a while because GoW2 was coming, but that is the last time I played a PS2 game. Everyday I think man I want to play Killzone or God of War. Then I go over to my media cabinet and I see over 100 PS3/360 games of which about 20 of them have yet to be opened.

That is the bad part about being a gamer compared to being a movie guy. If I want to relive a classic, it takes at least 10 hours. Now that I am going back to work I will only have about 2 - 3 hours for entertainment after work. That means beating a game can take a week or to.

I still love every one of my PS2 games, and I will never sell any of them. Even though I don't use the B/C it is still comforting to know it is there.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

I have a 60gb PS3 unit and i've used my BC quite a lot, but thats only because i gave my PS2 unit to a buddy when i got my PS3. But if they had a no BC unit at launch for cheaper price then i would of bought that one and kept the PS2 unit. I don't see a reason for the complaining of no BC, if its important play your PS2.



I have 60G launch and while I do use it, its on very rare occasions. The last time I did I think was about 2 months ago to try and play through Kingdom Hearts again :P



Platinums: Red Dead Redemption, Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, Terminator Salvation, Uncharted 1, inFamous Second Son, Rocket League

I haven't got B/C. I saw no reason to, because I have both a PS2 and PSOne...
