as far as i can tell its not no backward compatablility, it just uses emulators like on a pc, to play the older ps1and2 games, but it can still play like 75% or something like that of the oldergames... the ee chip just will be taken out, so they can save money, and use software (emulators) to play the older games i think

the 80gb ps3 will not have the emotion engine built into it, it will do bc thru software emulation. right now with sony's software emulation they have gotten 88% of all ps2 games to work on the console.

but the software emulators will be updated to improve there compatability. and i also herd that in the next firmware update the EE chip will not be used and all consoles will just use the sofware emulation.

Software emulator can treat the image with AA and upscaling, but yeah, it plays less games than with the actual ps2 hardware inside. If they provide support for the biggest titles, I don't see much problem. Plus if you really have to play a certain unsupported game, a new ps2 costs only a hundred bucks.

No the PS3 emulates PS3 games as well. So far it's only about 80% compatible.

Well the current 60gb (the one in N.A) has the ps2 chip (emotion engine) in it, meanwhile the 80gb won't have the chip and while use the emulation for it.

Proof ?? do you have evidence ?

It's true that it's less expensive, because of the fact that the parts won't stay at one price it will drop eventually, but that doesn't say that the qualitydrops. There is no logic inyour sentence (If you have evidence ).

the European 60GB has more than 85% retrocomp, the 80GB will use the same software retrocomp so it will play the same games

just get the 60 gig, you can always upgrade the hard drive later. PS3 uses normal everyday laptop hard drives. I wish they still had the 20 gig :(

Whats wrong with the 80 gigs price? It basically gives you a free 20 gig because of the extra controller and motorstorm.

because the 60 gig is $100 cheaper, and not everyone wants motorstorm. Plus emulation isnt always perfect for backwards compatibility.
