Doesn't make any sense to me, from what I've heard, a game either has to be ported, emulated or possibly a middle ground between those two.

If "recompiling" is so easy and low-level, then couldn't they just tweak the emulator a little more so the PS3 can play the exact PS2 version?

"Recompiling" isn't the exact term. Porting is a far better word for this situation.

Ahh OK, sorry for the confusion, you used a lot of terms I've never heard before. I'm still not sure how they do it so quickly and easily though, at the prices they're selling the game at, they wouldn't make a profit if the game was in any way difficult to port.

I just found out that the 80gb NTSC PS3 still had the PS2 GPU but emulated the CPU, so they were fairly close all the way back in 2008.

I don't think they would release a 16gb version, install sizes caused mayhem on the original 20gb version, they should go with at least a 60gb hard drive.
