If its so important to him he can buy a 250GB slim & we can swap! He needs not give me a cash difference for my 60GB, I'll do him a favour & make a straight swap!
I recently was reading the uk play magazine mag. They interviewed Mark Bowles - Product manager for SCEE and they asked him about it.
Play - Some commentators still feel this functionality is important to consumers, but does Sony disagree?
Mark Bowles - We have said for a long time our focus is on high-definition PS3 games and that we would not be bringing backwards compatibility back to the PS3. We are now two-and-half years intothe lifecycle of PS3 and we have a very extensive library of games. Our priority is to keep bringing the best high-definition gaming experience to PS3 and that is something that will continue.
