If I buy the PS3, it will be to play PS3 games, not PS2 games. I can emulate most PS2 games on my PC anyway, let alone play them on my PS2.

Anyone who trusts a large corporation like Sony, Nintendo or Microsoft to stick to their word has no idea what they're dealing with. It's your own fault, really. It's not like they signed a contract which said that if they stopped BC that they would be penalised in some way or that the people would be given some kind of compensation. Words mean nothing, and you should all know that by now.

Otherwise you'd be buying your PS3's from Nintendo right now.

Of course, there are too few decent next-gen games to purchase any next-gen console right now, as far as I'm concerned. I'm still waiting for them to stop making PS2 versions of all the games. Why pay more for graphics? It means little to me.
