Btw, the only reason why it doesent read PS2 games is because of the lack of emotion engine or?

oh simple, PS3 hardware is still losing money, PS2 is still selling good, why kill the sale of a profitable hardware by giving it to an unprofitable hardware for free.

I think if they kept it, they could have made more money by selling old PS2 games though the PSN store.  And all of those "new" PS2 owners could have potentially been PS3 owners, increasing Sony's marketshare.
