If the slim is real, this timeline would make sense for a September reveal/launch. I would think the slim would need to be launched globally since it would kill the PS3 chunky's sales.
Regarding BC, it's never going to happen through software emulation. I don't think the PS3 will be able to emulate the EE and GSX. Also, I believe many PS2 developers used non-standard approaches when developing for the PS2 in order to maximize its performance.
Thanks for the input, Jeff.
