WHY? Because when I bought the PS3 there was no backwards compatibility that's flaming well why?
So I get punished for buying their product.
It's not like I got the 40 GB on sale I paid top dollar for it. I would have bought the 60GB but there were none on sale.
Nobody forced you to buy a 40GB PS3.
Sony told everybody that the 40GB PS3's wouldn't have backwards compatibility.
You could have sourced a 60GB version if you really wanted one, or were that bothered about backwards compatibility of PS2 games.
