Euro PS3 To Lack Some Backward Compatibility

When you look at the conversion rates of the Euro to the US dollar you can see that the Europeans will be paying a bit more for their PS3’s next month than we do here in the States. Now Sony has announced that in an effort to cut costs, the Euro version of the PS3 won’t even have the same hardware. The hardware change means PS3s across the pond will lack the same level of backward compatibility as the US and Japanese versions. Good News? Unknown Sony rep called me back and said “PS2 is still in production.”
