Emotion Engine. Its the chip that was in the PS2, thus giving the older PS3's a very good BC (backwards compatibility) rating. Something upwards 95%.
But they are taking it out of the new PS3's, and using emulation software (which is what the Xbox 360 uses). So it *could* lower BC ratings by a lot. But with the emulator, its easier to upgrade over firmware, so 100% BC still is possible.
But people seem to think the emulator is going to be as bad as the one in the 360. I don't think so, but we'll just have to wait and see.
its a chip that basically emulates the ps2 so you can play your ps2/ps1 games. don't worry about the EE chip though. it may have better compatibility now but what people don't realize that with the next firmware up date or 2 the EE chip will just simply be disabled and not used and all the consoles will have software emulation. i don't understand why people have no faith in software emulation... is is because of microsoft's failed attempt??
