Why would they even make non-backwards-compatible versions?

They want it,they want it now! LOL . Not sure,as Master k said,they are in very heavy demand,so people are going to get any version/condition they can find.

Because that is what sony does. It takes a good concept (Backwards compatibility) and finds a way to ruin it or remove it from their product.

If you read his post more carefully, I'm pretty sure he is saying that only the backwards compatible PS3's are in demand, not necessarily all other versions.

I understood,but all versions have good demand.

Yes I remember,but some people just want a PS3 thats cheaper than the best.

Well, after consulting my family and realizing that a PS3 was completely impractical, we went and got a used PS2 at gamestop for $60 (which is probably higher than necessary, but it was convenient). So now I have a broken PS2 for sale/trade if anyone wants it. Later on I will also post some of the games I have for sale (to make up for the costs and help save up for nats some more).
