Everyone here knows about this of course but now it is confirmed:
from http://kotaku.com/gaming/get-out-and...ion-276401.phpThe new 80GB PS3 that we've seen today has a catch: it has ditched the Emotion Engine chips for software emulation, just like we've seen in the PAL-version PS3s. Yes, software emulation is coming stateside, and it looks like a matter of time until the Emotion Engine chips are kicked out of our 60GB models, too.
---------------------------------------
Whats your opinion?
Will this mean that fewer PSone and PS2 titles will actually PLAY on the PS3?
Will this turn out to be another 360 "half-assed-BC" type situation?
Do you think this will make the early PS3s that do contain the actual PS2 Emotion Engine chip more sought after by the hardcore/collector type?
