So guys. Not much has been happening with the PS3. Although I do have some news for you:

* First off, there will be a new Firmware next week. :)

* Secondly the Home open Beta will start in a few weeks :D

* There is no thirdly :(

But on the bright side the stores are now updating on Thursday (The EU one was updating on Friday), and we keep getting loads of stuff.

Well I have a third hand rumor for you guys. I don't know if it's true or not, but if you find anything about it post a link here.

I heard from my friend who heard from his friend at Gamestop that Sony is taking out a chip or something from the incoming PlayStation 3s that allow you to play your PSOne and PS2 games. This part I might have heard wrong, but after they get rid of the 60GB consoles, there'll only be the 80GB ones at the $599 price.

I don't understand why Sony would take out the capabilities of playing PSOne and PS2 games on the PS3, but if this is true...hopefully they don't make an update that takes away this feature from us...even though we have the chip that allows us to do this.

Hell, they might be taking out the chip because the next update involves giving us the ability to play PSOne and PS2 games without the chip. You never know.

Again, this is all just a rumor.

That isn't just a rumor, its true. They're going to do the backwards compatibility with emulation, and not with the Emotion Chip or whatever. Should be better with emulation anyway.
