Does this mean that it will no longer be possible to buy a backwards compatible PS3 with Memory Card slots? This won't be that great of a deal if it means you are just trading more storage space for backwards compatibility and memory card slots

I feel sorry for the people that just bought the MGS4 80gb model for $499.

You shouldn't feel sorry for anyone who can afford a $499 PS3. The lack of backwards compatibility is a huge issue for me for example. I have tons of PS1 and 2 games I enjoy very much and would hate to keep 2 consoles together. Is it really so hard to code a proper emulator on the PS3 hardware?
