As long as they keep backwards-compatibility out, I'm not buying one.

Yea, it's not coming back. Ever.

Buy a 99 dollar PS2 in that regard.

Oh, I have a PS2. I simply won't buy a PS3.

Edit: Well, I probably will for my collection, but in years when it's super cheap.

PCSX2 for PS3 Linux eventually maybe?

I'll be getting one in August if this happens.

Doubt it...not enough horsepower underneath to pull something like that, I think.

Or if you can, it'd be very slowly...at least until someone figures out how to access all cores of the thing.

As I said before it would be funny if this actually happens so soon after I bought mine (although even if I knew this price drop was coming I probably still would of bought a PS3 before Cross Edge came out).

I don't see how they can drop the price though if they're already losing $40 per sale

They won't and I still hate them for taking it out.

Thankfully I managed to get my hands on a fully backwards unit.

You know, for everyone that complains about backwards compatibility for the PS2 being taken out, it wasn't even that good when the PS3 had it in. :\

Besides, I still don't get what the problem is if you had a PS2 to begin with...unless you were cheap enough to sell your previous console. I tend not to do that. I still hate the fact I let my NES slide out of my fingers way back in the day.

I collect consoles and games so I never trade anything into the store to get money to buy something new.

And I also don't understand why it's such a big deal that the PS3 no longer has backwards compatibility. I have my PS2 hooked up to the exact same TV as my PS3 so it's effortless to switch from one to the other

This.

I mean it's not real big for me to push a button on my remote labeled 'Component' to get to my PS2 and 'HDMI' to get to my PS3.

Both my PS2s happen to be broken.

Still, I can just borrow my friend's if need be.

Nobody's ever done a foxgirl, to my knowledge. And Disgaea's awesome, so... yeah.

All I have to do to get to my PS2 is swap the cords out, anyway.

The system itself is still set up, along with my Genesis.

Lack of cords? Switch?

I actually had a 5-way auto-switched before I moved the PS3 over to the new TV. Was bad-ass...especially for vidding stuff that was going to be posted on YT.

That said, I wanna get a particular thing in Cross Edge vidded.

The onlys witch I have works for RF only.

I'm not quite sure I'd want to do that for a PS2/PS3...

I have too many systems hooked up...oh wait a minute...I just hooked up my Ps2 the other day....

Never mind....

When I worked at GS, the amount of people who would bitch about no backwards computability on the Ps3 was astonishing.

It seems unfounded to me but hey...we're in America...you can bitch about anything. It's a given right of the Constitution.

I have a TV with 14 different consoles hooked up to it. If my house burns down you should be able to guess the reason why

Oh this area in the corner with the computer and the amount of wiring around it is astonishing. I'm just waiting for it to explode into a fiery ball visible from space.
