| dbot said: You do realize the 80 gig PS3 already does PS2 software emulation, right? The original 20 gig and 60 gig PS3's actually had the emotion engine. The EE was value engineered out of the 80 gig in favor of software emulation of PS2 games. Only the 40 gig lacks any sort of PS2 support. Many believe that that was more of a marketing decision to differentiate the price points/value of the 40 gig, 60 gig, and 80 gig offerings at the time. Now that Sony has officially killed the 60 gig (this is a shame), they are left with 2 sku's. This is why many people believe that Sony will offer PS2 compatability in the 40 gig via an unlock patch. It is a rumor, but I have always believed Sony would offer PS2 bc in all of their sku's. This is vital if they want third parties to continue to support PS2 titles.

You do realize that the 80Gb (NTSC) still retains the PS2's GS chip so the SKU only needs to emulate half the equation right?
You do also realize that the 40Gb (NTSC/PAL) has neither the EE nor the GS requiring the PS3 to emulate both right?
No, of course you don't. Research more please.
