New PS3 Model CECH-3000 - the return of backwards compatibility? No.

[cheaitsjustin]

The recent announcement of the CECH-3000B 320GB model which will consume less power and weight less, appears to include an additional feature that will make the PS3 much more valuable and make many PS3 gamers happy!
After reading the specs on the Japanese Sony website, it’s clear that the new PS3 model will have PS2 compatibility with proprietary software. (If the translation is correct) This is what the translation reads:
“This product, “PlayStation 2″ are having a compatibility with proprietary software”

Interesting!! Also, I could've sworn there was a PS3 hardware thread... I couldn't find it though.

EDIT: Don't get TOO excited now! Upon further investigation, I have discovered pretty much the same translated sentence for the older 160/320GB models. Whether Sony has just recently added this (and is planning a firmware update or something), or these are all wacky translations has yet to be determined.
