[QUOTE="osaka35, post: 7915098, member: 229953"] For those who don't know, here's a summary: -Original ps3 had ps2 hardware inside of it so it could play ps2 games. Think of it as two systems in one -Updated ps3 had the ps2 hardware removed and just emulated ps2 games through software only. -Updateder ps3 removed ps2 software emulation because of...reasons. -psx (original playstation for you non-americans) is supported for all version, though I'm not sure if it's a hardware thing for the first or if it's software emulated throughout. The only models that can play PS2 games natively are the launch 20GB and 60GB models. The 80GB model with 4 USB ports is the one that software emulates. But really, it's not a huge deal. Custom FirmWare(CFW) lets you play them perfectly fine. Really, as long as you're using CFW there aren't really any benefits to a phat. Maybe with ease of replacing HDD, because ps3 slim is evil to disassemble. Super slim is cheaper quality, so just avoid that. Yup. I like my phat. [/QUOTE]

Just between me and you, I mostly believe they honestly do. Even though they are selling themselves out, they still get to brag and gain some clout.
