I know this is the old and tired speculation, but Backwards Compatibility will come. It's firmware update-friendly, there's no reason for it to not eventually happen.

There's going to be a lot of people buying PS3's for the first time for the rest of 2009, Sony wants them to buy ps3 games, instead of playing PS2 games while they wait for the new titles they want to be released. It's what a lot of people did with the PS2 when it had an almost utter crap lineup at launch.
