The PS3 sucks now.

The PS3 sucks now.
Was gonna get one for blu-ray playing, but the ones that are in production now only have 2 USB ports (versus 4 in the old ones) and don't have PS/2 backwards-compatibility anymore. (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ps3#Retail_configurations">retail configurations</a>)
I wanted the extra USB port so that I could support two controllers plus a third for an IR-receiver (<a href="http://www.remotecentral.com/articles/ps3-ir-remote2.htm">ir remote for PS3</a>) and I wanted the PS/2 backwards-compatibility for obvious reasons...
Sucky.

I have a Harmony remote I'd like to use for all my devices.
If you ask me, the fact that the PS3 doesn't have an IR receiver is a ridiculous limitation. But it does help them sell more proprietary Bluetooth remotes.
I feel as a consumer in the 21st century I shouldn't have to put up with such vendor lock-in. Why *SHOULD* I shell out $25 more dollars for their special single-use remote?

Only going to bring costs down, buy a PS2 for $75 and a usb hub, done. PS3 sucks? come on....
The PS3 has only been backwards compatible for slow adopters for like, 2+ years!
Don't blame Sony for procrastinating, they never were going to offer PS2 compatibility forever.

Ever see recent PS2 numbers? It is still a popular machine....
Sony didn't want to just kill the incredibly strong PS2 community so gave everyone ability to play old games on the new machine... Because it's taken 2 years for them to catch up to 360 numbers... Now that the BR - HDDVD war is over, and the PS3 has solid titles.... Time to start nailing the coffin on the PS 2 so to speak.
