All PS3s are backward compatible with PS2 software.

Sorry should have been specifc, was just relating to the quote of 60GB/80GB

The 80GB US one with full BC is the Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle edition.

Of course the launch consoles were all full BC in the US (both CPU and GPU in hardware)

lol stop the 80GB never had the full hardware inside... there is only a specific 80GB model with software BC (no hardware like the PAL launch).

The hardware (EE) only existed in the launch 20GB and 60GB in US.

EE stands for emotion engine which is the CPU in the PS2, of course we know that was only in launch consoles, the GPU however is still present in those consoles.

Actually, you're right about the 80GB MGS4 bundle, my apologies for that. That's one point you are correct on and that has nothing whatsoever to do with the thread.

The main issue here is your lack of ability to gras something that everyone else on VGChartz knows (That BC consoles that are partially software based still have the PS2 GPU inside...as in the MGS4 bundle and the 60GB EU launch PS3)
