Has noone else seen the errors in "PlayStation 3 Hardware Resource Center" ?
From "PlayStation 3 System Configurations":
PlayStation 3 80GB
"..and offers software emulation for PlayStation 2 backward compatibility."
PlayStation 3 60GB
"The newer 80GB model uses software emulation to provide PS2 game compatibility..."
PlayStation 3 40GB
"You won't find an Emotion Engine or even a PS2 software emulator in this machine."

As I understand it:
The US/JP 60GB and 20 GB PS3 both have an "Emotion Engine" and a "Graphics Synthesizer" from the PlayStation 2.
The US PlayStation 3 80GB and the PAL 60GB does not have the "Emotion Engine" anymore BUT still have the "Graphics Synthesizer" is some form. The PlayStation 2 backward compatibility is a combination of software and hardware based emulation.
Since the 40GB PS3 also lacks the "Graphics Synthesizer" this version does not have any PlayStation 2 backward compatibility since Sony hasn't made a pure software emulator of both the "Emotion Engine" and the "Graphics Synthesizer".
Or am I wrong?
