Yeah, I really think that the lack of backward compatibility is exaggerated as a problem. There are two main scenarios in which you would want to play PS2 games on your PS3: 1) you don't want to pay for expensive PS3 games, so you buy cheap PS2 games, and 2) you already have lots of PS2 games that you want to still play. The first scenario is unlikely, since people who buy $400+ PS3s are probably willing to buy PS3 games also. In the second scenario, you would probably have a PS2 already.

@Hello Mister Walrus: I'm hesitant to buy new video games for my 400 dollar console. Most suck and are buggy and not worth the money. I'm fine playing the few games I have and watching Netflix on it.

@Hello Mister Walrus: My PS2 died around the time the PS3 released. I happened to be able to afford a PS3 at the time. Since then, I have only purchased 6 PS3 games. (Most of what I wanted were multi-platform and "Achievements" were the only extra feature between systems then.) My PS2 (and PS1) collection continues to grow as I discover hidden gems that I'd overlooked in the past.

@k-napped: Um, yeah, about watching Netflix on your PS3...Microsoft just did one of those evil laughs. You know because of XBOX exclusivity.

@Hello Mister Walrus: 2 games for PS3: 120. Two games for PS2: 20. That's a big chunk of change.

@Hello Mister Walrus:
What about those of us who early-adopted on PS2s and had them die terrible optical-drive deaths? I look to my 60GB PS3 like the clock is ticking.
And then dropping Linux support? Protectionist video-store nonsense that requires PlayOn to watch Netflix? No more SACD support (for quite a while)? Seriously, SCE, screw off. Reply
