Pure speculation. If it was so easy or cheap to do software emulation, why haven't they announced it? I'm not going to reargue that thread anyways, since thre are already a million pages on it.

The fact is that emulation doesn't exist now and it has not been announced in any way, shape or fashion by Sony.

What's in the 80Gb then ? I thought it didn't have the emotion engine...

Anyway they are still factories producing the 80Gb ( MGS4 bundle is 80Gb, tell me if I am wrong) so it woudn't be that hard for them to start selling the 80Gb model in Japan...

The 20/60gb models in Japan/USA had the full BC (EE and GS(Graphic Synthesizer) chip. The 80gb released in the US A had the EE chip taken out, but the GS chip was left in to support the software PS2 emulation. The 40gb models have neither the EE nor the GS chip, which makes things even harder for Sony if they want software PS2 emulation(which is probably why there is none ATM on the 40gb models). The 80gb model was never released in Japan. There is only the 40gb models left since they discontinued the 20/60gb models in January. The MGS bundle in Japan will be with the "new" gunmetal gray colored 40gb PS3 and not a non-existant (in Japan anyways) 80gb bundle. (which is what it is in the USA, I believe)
