It's not that they are holding out on us. It's that they don't have full software BC yet.

 

So you can *try* to play PS2 games but they may or may not work depending on weather ot not they emulate properly?

or it won't play ps2 games at all until they perfect it?

 

No, you can't play any PS2 games on any 40GB or the NEW 80GB systems. The OLD 80 GB system had partial software BC in that it stil contained 1 of the 2 required PS2 chips and emulated the other. The NEW 80GB system and 40GB systems would have to have a firmware update that emulates both chips, thus it would be Full software BC, not partial.

I'm hoping they figure it out and release a firmware upgrade. Heck, I would pay 30$ in the PSN store for a downloadable PS2 emulator.

I'm not sure what you mean. Sorry.
