PS3 less backwards-compatible in Europe?

[satman83]

The European model of the PlayStation 3, due to launch on March 23,
will use different hardware specifications to the models already released
in Japan on November 11, 2006, and the US on November 17, Sony
announced in a statement today.

The European PS3s will be designed differently, meaning that a "new combination
of hardware and software emulation" will only enable the new PS3s to be
compatible with a "limited range" of PS2 titles, and a "broad range" of original
PlayStation games.

A Sony spokesperson told Reuters that "the backwards compatibility is not going to
be as good as the US and Japan models."

It is spam. There are sites devoted to gaming news. This is not one of them.
