I noticed on eBay there are a few dealers offering factory refurbished 60GB PS3s with hardware backwards compatibility for PS1 & PS2 running at apprx $150 each. What are the pros and cons and how well does the BC work? I've always heard the 60GB units are risky and susceptible to the YLOD, but OTOH I have a friend who has a 60GB launch unit which still runs fine to this day and I thought since these are factory refurbished they might be a somewhat safe bet. I also like that the 60GB units have memory stick input which would make transferring stuff to my PSP even easier
So should I go for a 60GB unit or just get a later model and not be drawn in by the shiny BC lure? This would be my first time owning a PS3, up until now so borrowed from a friend but I purchased a lot of stuff on PSN during that time. I was Wii360 last gen, probably going to be WiiU/NX/PS4 this round. It's too bad I can't just transfer most of my stuff to PS4.
