BC is not really revelant now. If I buy a next gen console, I want to see upgraded visuals and audio. I could never go back to PS2-era graphic again. The only game I am seriously thinking of playing from PS2 is only the Final Fantasy series and Metal Gear Solid, so it is not a big loss. Linux O/S is no longer supported? Meh, i don't touch that either. So, 120GB, more power efficient (I am expecting a power brick ), cheaper price = SOLD!
