Yet some of them seem to think there will be some sort of emulation. That is a serious point you made who will buy a Playstation 3 that will not play games from the previous two machines. Supposedly even the hardware for emulation is being removed. |
LOL ... thanks for my morning laugh. I know for a fact that the hardware emulation - the Emotion Engine - was last spotted in the PS3 60gb. FTR, the 80gb has software emulation, not hardware, and I can bet you my Wii that the 40gb won't have hardware either. It's a $27 chip that made the machine worth something, IMHO. Without it, you have a machine so seriously gimped it's not funny. I would actually pick up a 60gb, even a 20gb PS3 if I felt it was worth the price of admission. However, based on the lackluster lineup I've seen thusfar, I would rather pay bills and get caught up financially than dropping $500 for this gimped system.
