My sister wants a PS3. Questions:

[JTK]

My sister has seen me with my PS3 since November and she finally can no longer resist.

Here's the questions:

1.) She's torn between making a move now vs. waiting until around Christmastime for a price drop.

2.) What's the word on this concept that the PS3 might see some cost cutting moves where the current hardware that allows full backwards compatibility might get "shortcutted" a little bit?

^^ That's based on a rumor I've heard on more than one occasion. Backwards game compatibility is important to her, especially when it comes to PS2 RPGs and such.

You all see where this is coming from?
