Confirmed: 40 gig PS3 has no backward compatibility

"Please Note! 40GB PS3 is not backward compatible with PS2 games.
This information is based on specifications supplied by manufacturers and should be used for guidance only "

WTF? How is this possible?

What happened to the software emulation without the Emotion Engine? Doesn't it work at all?

Does this mean you'll never see downloadable PS2 titles on a PS3?

 

 

The EE was done by software, not the GS. The GS is the graphic chip of the PS2 and had some ram. Without it, it should be very hard to emulate the PS2. That should save Sony about $40/PS3 (GS + Some ram). At least as far as I remember.
