There's always gonna come up a point when you've gotta move on and get with it.
BC was there from the start as a bonus, and only a bonus. Maybe through some smart 'one time UMD signing system' may work (so that each UMD can only be signed once and only once onto a person's PSN for digital download, thus preventing piracy to a degree), but since they're taking such leaps in next generation gaming, there's gotta be some cut backs.
ESPECIALLY since most of you will complain once UMD BC might be fully on the NGP because the price is too high. >_>
Dude, people LOVE backwards compatibility. Sure it was in the launch models, but why take it out? There's a reason why Xbox 360/ 360 S, and Wii offer backwards compatibility, because people love it.
There's only one way that I can see this backwards compatibility appealing to a lot of people. If you have a game, you give a code on MediaGo or whatever, you get a digital download for that game. Or if you trade it into EB/GameStop or some other store, and they give you a free NGP version.
Making people pay all over again, it won't work. It didn't for the Go, so why should it work for the NGP?
Off topic: I hated how I had to buy all my UMD games again and take 3 days to download each one. Plus when hearing that the DSi doesn't support GBA anymore...
