Charlie from The Inquirer rips Sony a good one after the announcement that they’re skimping $27 (presumably US?) bucks by chopping off the IOP, EE and GS from the PlayStation 3 and replacing it with less-than-reliable software emulation instead and charging more to boot. Sony has decided to publish a list of working/non-working games on March 23, so if you had a preorder forget about knowing what works until it’s in your hands. Astute buyers will either a) hold off selling their PS2’s or b) wait for updates to get the full functionality, if ever.

Read about it from The Inquirer here. Think I’ll pick up a Japanese or US PS3 at this rate, but it all seems to point to the fact that Sony should have either a) done this from the start and b) waited 6 months for games + hardware to catch up.
