40 GB PS3 to be Backwards Compatible in Oct. through Firmware???

[DragonLord]

According to this article the 40 GB ps3 will be backwards compatible come October due to a firmware update.  Doesn't matter to me because I have a 60GB ps3 (plus, I have a ps2), but I thought some might be interested.  Don't know if there is any truth to this or not.

As german site inplaystation.de reports, downward compatibility for the 40GB PS3 will be available this october via firmware upgrade. They talked to a Sony importer from germany who told them, Sony is going to release a new firmware which allows a fully software emulation of PS2 games.

Since Sony announced that they're going to offer downloadable PS2 games in PSN, this rumor sounds believable.
