I don't think in pounds, but that doesn't sound like a bad price. Of course, not being backwards compatible was a swift kick in the nuts.

Why didn't you inform yourself better though?

Well, I have a great plan, after Christmas I'm going to ring Sony HQ or something of that nature and say "my parents bought it me so WTF? is up with no backwards compatible", apparently they are releasing a ps3 next year which will be kinda like the psone when its released and will be backwards compatible. Basically my dad is a psyco so Im guna get him to yell down the phone for a bit, till they agree to send me the new one when its released :P

Oops! That was not medicine...
The irony of this is that before the 80GB PS3, you could use PS2 controllers.

Heard they took the controller out when they released the 80GB PS3 because no one would make PS3 controllers. Harrr.

You need to get a 60GB or a slightly older 80GB if you want Backwards Compatiblity. They took it out of the newer models due to cost and all around lack of consumer interest.

Most of the costumers in the gaming market already own a PS2, so they all just "Meh'd". Makes sense to me...

Even if you get an older model, i still think there's a couple of problems with some games, especially with ps1. All in all, seems to me like they didn't plan this very well.
