PS3Tag.com lists three major points that explain why having no backwards compatibility on the 40gb PS3 model is actually a very good thing.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Just like Blu-Ray, the lack of BC is good for Sony because it leaves gamers with limited options in terms of what they can spend their money on. [NEW]PS3 owners can either buy a PS3 game/games or Blu-Ray discs. In the end, its not so good for gamers but it's great for Sony.
Spin! Spin! Spin!
Name one highly anticipated PS2 game. Right, there is none. If you buy a PS3, you are buying it to play PS3 games or watch BR movies not new PS2 games. If you want to play your old PS2 games, keep your PS2. How hard is that for people to grasp?
i was considering buying a ps3 with the price drop, but its the budget model previously not sold here in NZ, and it has no backward compatibility its just not worth it to me
what happened to sonys promise of being back compat with all ps1 and ps2 games from day one? why b1tch about MS back compat when they are clearly doing a worse job of it?
some ps3 models play a few some models play alot and some models play noen....i dont get it
give me a good deal of a price drop and a decent bundle and ill still consiter buying a ps3, only stocking the core model from now on in EUR and where im from NZ is not a good move, its trying to pull the wool over peoples eyes and make them think they are getting a good deal
and why would you take BC out when there are so many ps2 games still being made?
those who want BC, just should wait for 80GB model, it`s definately coming.
but well, 399$ price, Blu-ray, Wi-Fi, FREE Online Gaming, Good Quality Hardware.
Do competitors have better to offer? NO.
p.s. in 2005 people were buying x360 for 399$, which had OLD dvd, NO HDMI, VERY VERY sh1tty BC, FAILING HARDWARE, online gaming was for money, and still people were buying. Something changed in 2 years? People don`t want better quality products now? =))
