PS3 backwards compatibility to return?
Published Wednesday, Feb 13 2008, 14:59 GMT | By David Gibbon
At launch, all PlayStation 3 consoles boasted PS2 backwards compatibility - with the US and Japanese machines offering a hardware solution while the UK console featured software emulation.
However, Sony removed the feature in later editions of the console, including the 40Gb model currently on sale in the UK.
PlayStation network director Eric Lempell told EGM that the function could return for those PS3 consoles currently lacking it. "There are possibilities through technology and software emulation to make that possible," he said, but added that Sony has no "specific plans at this point".
