SCEE has confirmed that the system PS3 that it will put on sale in Europe talks each other about a checked and modified version of the hardware that has sold till now in Japan and the United States. One of these changes concerns the form in which there is managed the compatibility of qualifications of PS and PS2, since in the current models this functionality comes given across hardware thanks to the badge EE/GS integrated to the machines; what basically is a PS2 got physically in the casing of PS3.The European version will not incorporate this badge and the retrocompatibilidad will work across(through) “ a combination of hardware and software ". All are still to see what advantages and this system will bring disadvantages, but sources from SCEE, in declarations(statements) to Gamesindustry.biz they have already moved forward: " the compatibility is not going to be so good as the one that exists in the North American and Japanese versions, we must concentrate in developing new games and exclusive forms of entertainment of PS3 ”. The same source affirms: " the movement is significant because he allows us to rationalize the secondhand components, which will have a positive impact in the cost of the system in the long term ". The list of compatible qualifications of PS and PS2 in the European system it is already in a FAQ, but he will not become a public until March 23, date in which the system will be put on sale in the old continent.
