Sony Playstation 3 Slim | Wired.com Product Reviews
What exactly does Sony have to gain by not ramping up the compatibility issues here...? The slimmed down PS3 is an act of contrition certainly, but only to a limit; the profit baseline perhaps? Even if Sony were to give backwards compatibility to its back catalogue of PS2/PS1 games, we'd be hard pressed to find it even more useful as a media centre: no infrared port for 3rd party remotes/controllers, no alternate OS support, loud disc bay.
