you do know that the new north american 80gig ps3 has the emoting engine removed and now is not fully supportive of ps2 and ps1 games and since the removal of this hardware costs less than the 60gig model.
here is the uk "working" (if it loads) games list.
David Reeves, President of SCEE. “Games designed for PS3 offer incredible graphics quality, stunning gameplay and massively improved audio and video fidelity that is simply not achievable with PS and PS2 games. Rather than concentrate on PS2 backwards compatibility, in the future, company resources will be increasingly focused on developing new games and entertainment features exclusively for PS3
I am sure I am not alone in playing more last generation titles on my current gen consoles (360, Wii, PS3) than anything else. These titles include games that I have not previously played before getting the console.
In fact, I probably would not have purchased the current consoles if they were not (sufficiently) backward compatible.
I don't care about the lack of Emotion Engine, because I still have my PS2. Plus, the list of compatible games on the PS3 emulation is so much longer than the 360 one, when MS first enabled it, and I'm sure it will just get better, so I'm not too bothered.

My guess is Sony will have a $50 price cut ready to counter Microsoft's 360 price cut, which they'll likely announce for the holidays.

and he is true to his word as most titles are still glitchy or don't work at all, and no patches are coming for us in the uk so good luck america!

Who wants to play PS1/PS2 on their Ps3's anyway?
I dont play any Xbox games on my Xbox360...
If they do add another price cut, that would be enough to pull me over to the dark side...sort of, it would just be a secondary system :-)

I always play PS1/PS2 games on my PS3. It's one of my favorite features.

I guarantee you are a minority. And with halfway decent PS3 games coming out finally, those games should certainly be removed from your playlist.
