Just something about this issue of European PS3s being less backwards compatible and the numerous claims that Sony lied to us.

They said there would be one SKU that would cost no more than 399 USD [and came with Bluray and a HDD] and have a worldwide launch in Spring 06... the rest is history...

That's not a lie. They simply changed their minds. I'm continually amazed at how liberal people's defintion of a lie is here.

"Of course, including the extra hardware drives up costs. The magazine adds that Sony plans on removing the PS2 chipset from future revisions of the PS3 hardware once it has finished development of a proper software-based PS2 emulator. Such a removal would help bring down costs for the system."

They did not lie.

No. Its just that they need more money now in the games part ;) So instead of waiting till they can offer good emulation. They are doing it now. Not that anyone cares :S I only play old FFgames, Spyro and MGS. My PS2 plays them fine.

Right Europe doesn't care, just look at the comments in the news article on Eurogamer.net. You really mean you don't care as your probably in America. A lot of people were planning on trading in PS2's to offset the cost of the PS3 a little in Europe since Europe isn't even getting the 500 Euro model at launch.
