No one does that though. If you have money, you already own the original system. If you're short on money, and you have $50, you're going to buy a new game, not a game that came out 3 years ago that you missed. It's only a good idea on paper, no one actually does that.

The only thing backwards compatibility is good for is saving space on your shelf. And even that idea is shot when PS2 has issues with some games, and with Xbox you can't move saves.

Backwards compatibility was one of the failed ideas of this generation. Don't expect to see it come up again.
