will get when PS2 BC confirmed

Oh, hi. I fixed your post.

No PS2 BC no buy. I already have a fat PS3 for my PSX/2/3 game playing. Buying a slim because OMG IT USES LESS POWER! isn't a reason for me.

Why has Sony had such a hard time on keeping the leaks from getting out?

First the PSP Go, now this. Oh well, hope this helps them get a large base.

this still has a blu-ray player in it, right?
No. They decided to remove the blu-ray drive, along with compatability for every retail PS3 game in existance.

...What do you think?

Will buy it when it hits mass market price at $199
no I won't

Great news for us consumers; price cut may have come a little late, but this is a good thing.

I hope there is no backwards compatibility because then I can still hope to sell my 20GB full backwards compatibility at a decent price :lol
