I went ahead and purchased a PS3 slim. Mainly because there are now some games on it I want and it's cheaper. Plus Demon's Souls is coming out, which is my kind of game. I don't see why so many people complain about it not having BC. The PS3's haven't had BC since the ones that came out at launch and cost $500-$600 as far as I know. Also, who the hell doesn't own a PS2? It was pretty much THE console to own last generation. Did a ton of morons just run out and sell their last gen consoles as the next gen ones came out?
