Ah, patience: 'Gun Metal Gray' PS3 bundle now $400 at Amazon

360 owners*

and rather...hope ;p

All three of them that give a crap.I do for the sake of proving Kojima and Sony wrong(It cantz be done!) but who are the other two?

Because Jakka knows MGS4 better than its creator...

;)

I want to see a 360 version. Just to spite fanboys like you :)

I want to see a good ending to MGS4.

Not really...

IMO, Metal gear is good but nothing to "wait" on. If it comes, it comes.
Its like BioShock, if it never went to PS3 i dont think anyone wouldve traded in theyre systems. (Not comparing the two, BioShock & MGS4)

Now I will show you why I am the most powerful practitioner of psychokinesis and telepathy in the world!

I can't berieve I'm being hit on by the famous Sorid Snaake.

Well, there's still the occasional rumour floating around that Sony intend to implement fully software based BC.

I mean, it's very unlikely, but you never know.

Anyways, I have a Eu 60GB (the one with part hardware, part software BC), with around 80% PS2 BC. It's an okay substitute, but I'd still personally recomend playing PS2 games on a PS2 instead, cos you never know if some weird glitch is gonna pop up and ruin your game.

i say it's to bad that BC is gone but it is. if you want to play ps2 games get a ps2. if you want a ps3 there is probably a sku for you out there. the only people who should really complain are those with an extensive ps2 collection. in that case you just need to find room

"You can get a PS2 for dirt cheap"

Above all other things I believe this is the reason Sony took b/c out of the PS3. Phase one at least. They make money on each PS2 sold, so why not encourage people to buy both? Especially considering you can buy a PS3 with a larger HDD and a PS2 for less money than most people spent on the 60GB model back in 06/07.

Phase two of their plan would be to announce full software b/c, including PS2 games being available on PSN, after PS2 sales have slowed to a meaningless point. For most core gamers the PS2 is a mecca of great gaming, loaded with a ridiculous breadth of great content. Now imagine all that being accessible at budget prices from the comfort of your home. Is that not totally win material?

"the only people who should really complain are those with an extensive ps2 collection. in that case you just need to find room"

and I do believe that most of those people bought PS3's at launch since, if they have that many games, it only makes sense... and the launch PS3's all had BC.

I don't think the software-only PS2 emulator is very far off for the PS3, just look at some of the computer-based ones out there.

I would love to see PS3 greatest hits and classics available for purchase over the PSN. I have an original fully BC 60 GB PS3 with all the card readers and in all honesty I hardly play my PS2 games. I have a very extensive catalog of great PS2 games - probably 40 or more games in total and about 10-15 that I would consider Incredible titles. Out of all that gaming goodness I have maybe 5-6 that I have actually played and 2 of them Persona FES & Yakuza 2 are newer releases. I plan on purchasing eternal poison, chain of memories & SMT Persona 4 as well. PS2 is still coming out with some awesome and very underrated titles IMO. Funny thing is it has better new releases RPG's than the PS3. Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice, Folklore & presumably Valkyria & White Knight Chronicles will be the top tier exclusive PS3 RPG's. We have others like Enchanted Arms & Eternal Sonata that probably aren't as good.

It's the crappy Japanese bundle. All you get is a color scheme, with no BC. The US MGS4 bundle had an 80GB with partial (80%) BC.

Really ironic about that Japanese bundle, considering that a MGS Playstation can't play MGS2 or 3.

Ahhh, Heavy Rain... I won't be getting a PS3, but I hope it's good anyway.

Actually no, I hope it's only average so that I don't feel bad about not having it.

Heavy Rain always reminds me of Chocolate Rain. "Choc-lett Raiiiiiine"

I was like "why is everyone voting this guy down? He's right, it's retarded that this ps3 doesn't come w/ BC." Then I saw the 100$ comment, and it all became so clear. :-P

$100 for a PS3? You must be high.

They were only for sale at the Konami site. Now, they are on a slew of sites for the special sale price. My guess is that Konami had some left over consoles they sold at bulk prices. I really want to pick one up but I can't justify another PS3 purchase.
