When do you think Sony will allow PS2 playback on the 40GB PS3??

Can't they just install the software emulation from the 80GB on the 40GB?? What would be the complexity of doing that??

Everyone's talking about it would have to take a lot of good programming and that it would be very expensive, but ignore that the 80GB does have software emulation already! Isn't the emulator for the 80GB good for the 40GB?? If not, WHY??

No. The 80gb is only lacking the EE chip, it still has the GS chip. The 40gb is missing both chips. From what I've read, the GS chip is much, much harder to do emulation for.

Could they release a GS chip on a USB key? Is USB fast enough to allow GS processing to be done and fed back to the main processor through USB? Just throughing the thought out there. I would pay for such a thing. :)
