I don't really see what the big deal is here. You're getting less but you're paying less. If you really want a PS3 with backwards compatibility, buy one now. Sure, Sony have obviously backpedaled on this issue but I thought everyone would be so used to that by now that they wouldn't consider it to be a particularly notable occurrence.
That's the thing though. Considering Sony did release a patch that allowed PS1 and PS2 games to be run in 1080p, that was something I was actually looking forward to about the PS3. Especially considering since that meant (along with another patch) that you could play FFXI online with HD.

Anyway you slice it it's still a huge letdown to the consumer. I really don't like that one quote, that it was to encourage players to buy ps3 games. That sounds alot like coercion to me. It's a little scary that it's being applied to consumerism of video games, of all things.
