For the past couple years I've been telling myself that I'll only get a PS3 if I can find an original 60GB model with full BC. Now that the new slim model is out though, I'm having second thoughts.
The main reason I wanted a BC model was for the PS2 upscaling but since I've never seen one in action before, I have no idea how it looks. Can you see much of a difference with the upscaling? If it's not that great, I could live without BC and get a slim + leave my PS2 hooked up. But I'm seeing a lot of 60GB PS3's for sale now cheap, so I figure if I'm going to buy one, now is the time.
