Sony, mum on US revisions for PS3
The European PS3s have no backward compatibility without downloading firmware for it. Why should this matter if you’re in the US? Because it could happen to you.
Sony Computer Entertainment America was contacted by 1Up regarding this matter. The reply it got didn’t do much to clear things up. A Sony Representative responded, “We have no announcement regarding any hardware specification changes for PS3 in North America at this time.”
As of now, people everywhere are wondering about the configuration of the next shipment of PS3s. Will they still be backward compatible? Or will we need to download new firmware to play our huge collection of PS2 games? Only time will tell.
