The 40GB model for the PS3 has no back comp correct? Then why is it that we have the option of creating internal memory cards for the PS/2.

And we have the option to smoothen and add HD resolutions for PS1 games.

If we have no back comp, why do I have these options?

Sony is going to bring an update for a emulator that will be able to run ps1/2 games. Also for the downloadable games.

All PS3's including the 40g model play PS1 games. The other model PS3's also play PS2 games.

Are you saying that there is no extra hardware needed to play PS2 games? Just an update? I find that hard to believe.

Thats what sony said when they released the 40gb. Im not sure how they are going to do it or if they still plan on doing it. Last time they mentioned this was when the 40gb came out.

I also heard that BC would be available through emulation software, however, I think Sony was holding off on saying the 40GB would be, due to the fact that emulation software can still be problematic (and won't play all games) and the fact that 40gb model has less memory to work with. I have a 60gb, which means none of the HDD has to be dedicated to emu software, and isn't it that the 80GB doesn't have the emotion / ps2 chipset anyway? I thought the 80gigs also used emu software?

You can play PS1 games. You can't play PS2 games. And no matter what someone tells you, there's never going to be an update to support it (saw someone else's post about it).

those options are there because sony wouldn't change the whole OS just for the 40gb model.

Sorry, but 40GB's not ever going to run PS2 games. It's not so much the software, but the actual hardware which restricts it from playing PS2 games via emulation (emulation chip, etc, etc).

Sorry champ

Looks like I'll have to wait for the 80GB to come to the UK or a possible revised 60GB. :(

As hard to believe as you may find it, its true. They have been making emulating software for years for the PS2, it wouldnt take much to implelement this for use on a console.
