AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Hardware backwards compatibility is already gone, and software BC is SOFTWARE i.e. not built into the hardware. USB ports are needed to charge the PS3 controller. Meanwhile, things that could ACTUALLY be removed, like wireless internet and the card readers, are not mentioned. |
The PS2 hardware is not totally gone in the PAL and USA 80GB models as far as I know. Only the EE is gone, not the GS (PS2's GPU).
Regarding USB ports, the block diagram shows 2 instead of 4 in the new model.
