Possible reasons someone may care about BC:

1. Skipped a gen in videogame consoles. I know several families that still only have a snes and/or ps1 so don't think this isn't common.

2. Sold your PS2 (but not the games) to finance your PS3.

3. Many gamers have sweet setups that don't call for the clutter of extra consoles and wiring.

4. You just wanna have some trust in the company you're giving $400-600. Sony's Phil Harrison said that BC was a "core value" of the playstation brand and that you could not have a viable format without it. They also SLAMMED MS for not providing their customers with the "value of BC". They blasted them about "confusing multiple SKUs" and the "archaic last gen rumble". Less than 1 year later, Sony is now doing all of them. Now how can Sony customers truly believe them when they promise ANYTHING? Don't discount consumer confident. They count that in the value of their purchases.

5. The PS2 doesn't have a hard drive, so I don't know what you're smoking. But many, I think, would rather play their games off the PS3 HDD (can you even do that though?).
