PH: “The situation is changing every day, but on March 23, we expect the list to include over 1,000 PS2 titles.”" http://threespeech.com/blog/?p=301 What was removed was the Emotion engine. The cell shoud be able to adequately emulate the functions of that hardware. A little shy of 50% of title will work but no one knows how many of the 2400+ titles are re-releases or platinum editions. Any calls of death and gloom exaggerated?

Expect is the key word ... this is the company that Expected to have 2 Million PS3s at launch and ship 6 Million by the end of 2006 at E3 ... Regardless of the approach they used it is unlikely that they could completely re-test the entire library of the PS2 so the compatible game list might just end up being PS2 games that (when put into the PS3) boot up to the main menu; sound, graphic and stability problems are very common in emulation until you get (near to) 100% compatibility.
