Thinking of buying a 20 gig used on amazon actually. Only 230 bucks. Plus it has full BC which is a huge selling point for me considering I don't have a PS2.

I'm increasingly of the notion that the main type of person who actually wants a BC PS3 is someone who either never owned a PS2, or currently doesn't, whether it's because they gave theirs away/it broke/traded it in/etc.

For budget gaming, it does mean you have instant access to a ton of old and used games for cheap, not that a brand new $99 PS2 doesn't do the same unless you just don't have the AV inputs for one more console on your main HDTV with a half dozen consoles already hooked up to it.

ALL PS3's have built in wi-fi lol its not the stone age

Wrong. 20GB lacked WiFi.

And you're increasingly becomming more wrong.  Despite the fact that I have aa PS2 less than 5 feet away the lack of BC in the PS3 is a severe detractor to me.  Plus, I wouldn't even give up my old PS2 in all liklihood since it is modified and allows my to play my collection of foreign games.

No the 20gb don't have wifi but you still can go online with an ethernet cable.

And none of your collection of foreign games will run on a BC PS3 due to region coding, making that function quite useless for the percentage of a percentage PS2 gamers you represent.
