Yeah but they've probably got most of the money they'll get out of the Xbox 360 exclusivity, and I guess they've seen the opportunity to make a bit more money out of it. Thats always the way with game companies.

^ erm...Bioshock was never a 360 exclusive...was always on the PC.
@Keiki, I played the demo of Jericho long time ago..quite liked it. But for horror games..I suggest Condemned 2 : Bloodshot...its miles ahead of Jericho.

Weird, I thought the 40GB PS3 (which I have) was made cheaper through removing the chip or whatever that allows it to play PS2 games. So they removed the hardware that makes it possible, but the software they are replacing it with probably cost just as much to develop! It seems pretty stupid... Stupider than you'd expect Sony is.
The 40GB version was a cut-cost version with a few things removed so the price would be more attractive. I hope they can add it back in, but I doubt its going to happen.
Here's proof:
"The 40 GB model has two USB ports instead of the four USB ports on other models, and does not include a multi memory card port, SACD support, or any backwards compatibility with PlayStation 2 titles. This was due to the removal of "Graphics Synthesizer" GPU, which stripped the unit of all PlayStation 2 based hardware."

I thought the 80GB and 60GB both had inbuilt hardware to play PS2 games, not so much software emulation. As cool as this would be for my 40GB, I don't believe they'll do it - They won't earn much money from it and I bet it would cost them a ton. I don't think Sony is THAT devoted to its users.
EDIT: Oh I see, you're right. I didn't even read my own source properly! Well in that case, I retract all my previous comments and say bring it on! Can't wait.
