source? and i doubt they will bring back backwards comparability. most likely the PS2 games will be released on the PSN or as konami wanted they would be released on BD. im just glad i got my 60gb so i can still play my PS2 games.

First of all, the SLIM does NOT have a all new and more powerful CPU.  The fact of the matter is, with a 45nm process, it naturally makes the CPU faster, no more POWERFUL.  Still, they are throttled back to their 3.2Ghz speed.  It is not NEW, it is smaller, faster, and less power consumption; they are NOT taking advantage of the speed, and they can't, because games might become instable.

Some PS2 games are being UPDATED for PS3, not to run emulated, but native. 

Sony has made NO plans on a BwC emulator for the PS3, that leaked information is what it is, LEAKED.  I hold nothing to it. 

Sony has to make up their minds, but people are already MAD, and went and bought PS2s at 99.99 each, now more salt to the wounds by planning an Emulator?  More than 50% already emulate PS2 in one way or another, so why did they abandon it in the first place?  UNSTABLE...   While PS2 emulation would be nice, is is necessary with PS2s a dime a dozen?   I personally, don't think so...

I see PS2->PS3 ports coming on a per-game basis.  You put the conversion cost on the game's developer instead of Sony.  Full software emulation of the PS2 is likely more work than they want to put in, at least at this time.
