I heard that the launch NA PS3 consoles actually came with the Emotion chip built into them while the Euro ones emulated it through software anyway.


It works like this:

20Gb NTSC/60Gb NTSC:  Full backwards capatibility from the Emotion Engine and GS chips.

80Gb NTSC/60Gb PAL:  Partial backwards compatibility from GS chip and software emulation of Emotion Engine.

40Gb NTSC/40Gb PAL:  No backwards compatibility (No EE/GS chips).   

NTSC = Japan/NA
PAL = Europe
