They removed the Emotion Engine. PS2 back compatibility will not be done via emulation.

Emotion Engine is out, backwards compatibility reduced from 99.99% to about 88% at this time.

And according the picture on the 80GB SKU boxes, the PS3 jewel in the center of the controller has been changed to red!!!111!!!1 That's worth the extra $100 alone.

Is the EMOTION CHIP better choice ?

If you plan on playing a lot of PS2, yes. Although I'm sure all the Blockbuster titles will work.

Since you seem incapable of even a little looking, not as if this same thread was started yesterday and carried to today, how about just sending over your CC info and we'll buy one for ya.

The Emotion Engine was removed. Man, I was pretty pissed when I found that out and that Sony was going to stop production of the 60GB version. I was pretty much, "Sh*t, now I have to get a PS3 now. So much for saving up so I can get a game with it."

Yes, the EMOTION CHIP is currently the better CHOICE...it plays older GAMES BETTER, due to them actually RUNNING ON the oldER hadware. Other than that, it's "JUST HDD CHANGE".

I <3 search...do you?

Same here... but at least I can watch movies on Blu-ray in 1080p and play PS2 games.

Yeah, that's a plus. I might get 300 on Bluray tomorrow.

The European ones never had the EE. The American ones still did until the 80GB comes out.
