whats with dropping the Emotion chip set and going with sw emulation.
Since firmware v1.80 (which has been outdated for ages) the sw emulation is very good. I always stated that in the long term software emulation > hardware emulation and it seems Sony is living up to that. The PSX emulation on PSP is fantastic, maybe not as compatible as ePSX yet, but is getting there steadily and pretty amazing considering the hardware its running on. I have no doubts Sony can pull off the same with PS2 emulation on the PS3, which is a much more capable machine to begin with.
