European PS3 less backward compatible

It has recently been revealed by Sony that there will be different emulation technology inside European PS3's. As a consequence of this it will be backwards compatible with less PS2 titles.

Well are they gonna emulate the ps2 games so they work just as good? Or are they not gonna bother. Its realy up to sony. But god forbid if they dont fix the problem im gonna be pissed off.

Sigh, i'm beginning to hate Sony more and more everyday.

Sorry Ark, would it help if I sent you a US PS3? Haven't tried too many PS2 or PS1 games on mine, so I hope this is not an issue. Doesn't make since that the European version would have less BC, but then again it is Sony, and they think the consumers will buy it anyways (which lots of times we do, including myself).

I read about this, it does suck!. But I don't think I will be playing many PS2 games on my PS3 when I get it to be honest, only time will tell if Sony have made a mistake.
