Sony makes changes on the European PS3 Specification

US and Japan ps3 has a Emotion Engine/Graphics Synthesiser chip to emulate ps2 games on the ps3.

European PS3 loses the Emotion Engine and now depend more on software to emulate ps2 games on the ps3.

So now there will be a new supported ps2 game list available on the European PS3 launch.

European folks are not happy.

Well forgive me. It's hard to read up on the lastest news, when the forum is filled with a lot of childish and weak posts.

After such a long wait and find out your ps3 is not as same as everyone else, the EU consumers has the right to be mad.

However, BC is not as important as the actual ps3 games.

:P

I agree, sony is not going make a lot friends in europe. They have two choices. Take it or leave it.

Why is it boring? Is it not something that should be mentioned. Lets see, how to put it..........."Sony charges us more, makes us wait longer and then downgrades the f****** hardware". Woaw, hooray for Sony and their crap!

You must be another Sony drone.

as long if sony makes all ps 2 elimination 480i or p then im all for it even thow i have a ps 3 with a ps 2 chip. if the impotant games work then who cares. if they make them look better who cares. GARRYTH

I just don't get it...

Sony told the WHOLE WORLD that they would be making BC via software emulation a long time ago. They included the EE+GS into PS3 because emulation wasn't complete.

That has a good part and a bad one: The good? Almost 100% Compatibility. The bad? Some features can not be implemented (like "game upscaling") because the Cell+RSX are not doing this work, only showing the final result.

Now Sony is trying to put the emulator that SHOULD have been integrated into the first PS3's... They may not have as many compatible titles right now but.. THIS IS SOFTWARE!!! So They can update this via firmware and make it better... With time.

Some time in the future, PS3 will lost the "Graphic Sinthetizer" and all emulation will be done via Cell+RSX, and all the "fixes" would be integrated into the firmware update.

Whay I don't understand is that so many people seem to be "shocked" because Sony is doing what they told a centrury ago thet would be doing. And I don't understand why so many people don't see THE BENEFITS that this will do into PS3's emulation FUTURE.

Just take the PSP as an example... What you have RIGHT NOW is almost imposible to compare with PSP's original firmware. They have updated the little thing with so many options that I don't think I could imagine what will Sony do with the PS3 OS in one or two years.

What we should be doing is "waiting to see" what will happen, not attacking Sony withouot FULLY KNOWING what is the result of this.

You honestly believe that Motorstorm won't look any better than anything on the PS2? What PS2 game looks better than Resistance or Formula 1?ramey70
