The original PS3 (60gb and 20gb) have both, so they can play these games natively, without any issues.
With the 80GB, they removed the CPU, but kept the GPU. So it can play PS2 games with the CPU being emulated by the PS3 hardware. Unfortunately, emulation accuracy is not very good as you can tell from my article.
With the 40GB, they cut costs massively, so it doesn't have any components from the PS2 at all. It is impossible at this time to emulate the PS2 with PS3 hardware alone.

Ah well, like I say, we already have a PS2, so not really a concern.
Liking the look of Costco's bundle, - same as most other places' $400 40GB/Spider-Man3 bundle, but with a second wireless controller and Blu-Ray remote, for $480.
They have a similar package for the 80GB, $585 compared to the $500 most places have for the more basic bundle.

it is not really necessary for the 2nd controller, since the rumble one is coming out early next year, and this newer version will feel like a next gen controller, not a cheap piece of plastic.
As for the BD remote...I feel good enough to use my controller for playback

I don't see what the big deal with the rumble controller is about. The normal ps3 controller is fine. I like the fact that its light weight. The L2 & R2 buttons are just funny.

i'd say almost 90% of the people i know hate the fking ps3 controllers. You are truly a minority.
It feels like cheap plastic, and no weight like darthchilli said.
It isn't very next generation using the same fucking design for 3 generations. No Rumble? What the hell, give me a break.
My PS1 controller had rumble on it. Quote: Originally posted by hotjoint

but not having the weight, is an awesome plus, as well as being wireless.
i actually prefer the L2 R2 buttons, the way their made is kind of neccessary for some games, ie NFS PS
edit: btw thanks for clearing that up Skinnypupp,
that's dumb though, i totally forgot that the original ps3's were 20/60 gb.
you'd think the 80gb, would be the ultimate ps3,

The PS3 does not support that wrapper. So in order to get it to work, you would have to transcode it to a format the PS3 will read (MP4, MOV, TS, AVI) or hope that the scene starts releasing rips that are more compatible (good luck).
BTW the PS3 now supports DivX, an MPEG-4 Part 2 codec. This does NOT mean that it will play XviD (also an MPEG-4 Part 2 codec). It will play DivX files and ONLY DivX files. Again, nobody on the scene uses anything but XviD for AVI files (for some stupid reason - DivX is actually superior in many ways) so once again, PS3 gets the shaft when it comes to trying to download and watch TV.

I ordered my ME from Dell a month ago, and it is only delivered after a month after I told them I will take action against them when I received another copy from them in 2 days at regular price.

I dunno what you're smoking but XviD plays fine on my PS3 http://www.revscene.net/forums/showt...61#post5610961

| Yeah, I was going by some shitty information, and the firmware didn't arrive for me until I was just about to go to bed, so I couldn't test it myself. So I reposted that incorrect info here on the forum. Oops! I'll never trust Gizmodo again for anything related to PC's.

I have tested these with the 360, and they have always worked. I'll try the PS3 later today, now that it has VC-1 WMV support.
Most HD rips are in h.264 format using the Matroska container, which neither console supports (and I would bet anything that they never will).

yeah i havent tried getting a wmv one yet i heard some ppl are having problems with the audio playback on it
but the mp4 and avc m2ts work well
oh btw the divx playback sucks on the ps3, it works but it doesnt look good. i dont think its upscaled and if it is well it looks bad. my standalone samsung player does a much much much better job
