PS3 slim will not be backwards compatible

So, to cut costs, Sony has decided to scrap the backwards compatibility of the PS3 on the slim model. It was cut from current "Phat" PS3s a while ago and it looks like it's not coming back.

I have no doubt that the next feature to bite the dust is the AV Multi Out now. Since no one is playing PS2 games anymore, and more people are moving to HDTVs, they WILL drop the AV Multi Out in the very near future.

I, fortunately, bought a 60GB first generation 90nm model with the PS2 chip inside. But for future PS3 owners, if you want to play a PS2 game, you're gonna have to buy a PS2 Slim.

Non sense.

They basically looked at the majority of people who used PS3s and the majority wanted to play PS3 games on their PS3s. Majority won so the PS1 and PS2 compatibility bit the dust.
