| Sony decided to remove the Emotion Engine chip from the new Playstation 3 80 GB model. This chip enables backward compatibility with older PlayStation games. |
Like the European models who never had the Emotion Engine chip, this means the new Playstation 3 is less compatible with older Playstation games. The Emotion Engine chip is based on the MIPS R5900 & is a combination of a CPU & DSP processor, whose main function is simulating 3D worlds. The new Playstion 3 80 GB models will go on sale in August as reported earlier. |
