Yeah, that does kind of suck, but oh well.  I have a BC ps3 and haven't played any PS2 games on it since I got it.

I was thinking about getting the original 80GB ps3 so i could play my ps2 games, i still have several that i do still play quite a bit. Plus the 80GB price was dropped to $299 as well. and the 120GB is now $399.

update for B/C should be coming around December, whenever sony stops support for the ps2. Atleast that's the rumor.

No not exactly, I want a ps3 to be able to get some of the newer games, but I still want to play some of the older ones too.
