Apparently the European PlayStation 3 will be less backwards compatible as compared to the Japanese and US models, according to Sony spokesmen. This is due to presumably emulation software that can be upgraded to take care of the backwards compatibility while they can remove the IOP, EE and GS to save on costs. So, the upshot is that EU PlayStation 3 models cost more while there’s less hardware in it, less backwards compatibility and we’d have to be the guinea pig for the upcoming JP/US emulation software? Looks like I’ll buy a JP or US model after all…
Read about it from Reuters here.
