I own many a 20GB and 60GB model and use them as a POSIX cluster when not spending hours shaving thousandths of a second in F1 Championship Edition or playing the many other racing games available. I own many PS1 and PS2 games and while upscaling is neat, it still isn't enough to keep manufacturing the console with the EE+GS if the intention is to push the next console. I tell people that want a PS3 and want to keep their old games to keep a PS2 around for that reason because there is no way to make everyone happy. It was stated that backwards compatibility would be a feature but then people complained about the cost of the console. Sony is responding to repeated complaints about price and people still aren't happy.
