Just when the 60GB PS3 got all hot and heavy on you like an italian stallion in heat and a hundred bucks cheaper so you don't have to keep your 2nd job at Taco Bell, the 80GB PS3 came along and showed us no emotion!

There had to be a catch, right? GamesIndustry.biz reports that the just-announced 80 GB model of PlayStation 3 won't have the hardware-based backward compatibility of the current model. Says Sony spokesperson Kimberly Otzman:
The current 60 GB model utilizes a hardware and solution for backwards compatibility, namely the Emotion Engine chip. The new 80 GB PS3 will use a software solution for backwards compatibility, similar to that currently found in the PAL model.
