The Best Official PS2 HDMI solution bar none, but which version should you get?
Full Hardware 60GB VS Partial Emulation 80GB Backwards Compatible PS3.
For some odd reason, in my travels I stumbled upon not one, but both of the most sought after PlayStation 3 Models. The CECH A01 and the CECH E01. Why are these so sought after? Well, back in the 7th generation of video game consoles, the PS3 was still struggling to get out of 3rd place. So in order to boost sales, and lower the price of the original Phat PS3, Sony decided to remove a huge feature from the original PS3. That feature was full backwards compatibility with PS2 games. At first they didn’t remove it completely, but then in 2008, every PS3 after that could only play PS3 games… and PS1 games. (Every PS3 can play PlayStation 1 games)
So yeah, I got both of them, so what is the first thing I did? I compared the hell out of them. So whether you are niche consumer in the market for one of these, or just someone curious as to what the hell these beasts are, sit back, relax, and enjoy the video!

Which do you prefer the out of the BC PS3 models nowadays? The 60GB Launch model or the 80GB Partial Emulation model? Or are you one of the lucky few that has a 20GB ( CECHB01 ) launch model? Also would you pay 800 dollars for a PS5 if it included backwards compatibility for all PlayStation consoles.
