Default Software emulation most likely coming to current PS3s

Translated from the Deutsch:

Quote:
Reeves said the new backward compatibility will emulate PS2 SingStar accurately. It would use a software emulation to be introduced in a future firmware. This will allow PS2 SingStar to run directly on the PS3. You will not need the PS3 version of SingStar for this to work. "We'll follow which titles are worthwhile and get them up and running via emulation." This is, however, a very complex technical challenge as the current PS3 lacks the necessary chips to run PS2 code natively.

Looks like it's coming, but will be a long, painful process as was the case with the Xbox emulation on the 360. If this is the case, expect to see PS2 titles on the PSN store soon.
