Since a new version for the xbox 360 is being made to include the newest expansion...

you know,
if Sony would just allow them to do it they could just use the emulation engine that was released in some of the editions of PS3 and make it so only POL/FFXI would run off of it, its not like the way to do it doesn't exist,

they just don't want to remake the whole game for the PS3 and I can understand that part but since the emulation engine that allows PS2 games to run does exist Sony should let some companies use it, they are being incredibly greedy not doing so, as for Seekers being released on PS2 anywhere but Japan, I don't see that happening unless SE strikes a deal with Sony to use that Emulation Engine, but even then you would end up running into the PS2 limitations(not that there are really that many) that end up giving us some issues

While the 80 GB model (and a few others) used "software emulation," it was still running on a different motherboard from the Slim and Eben Moar Slim models. In redesigning the PS3 (twice), they may have sacrificed compatibility with that particular piece of software. All Sony was concerned with was compatibility with software written with the official PS3 SDK's.

I get the feeling that if the software used on the 80 GB really was a "one size fits all" model that we'd see a lot more PS2 titles available for download than we do today. There are more than a few big-name, Sony-published PS2 titles that are still missing from that particular catalog.

For the umpteenth time, "end of production" does not mean "end of support from Sony." The PS2 is still being treated as a current offering in Sony literature, in North America as well as Japan. This is S-E saying "No export for j00!" just like they're doing with the PC DVD of UCSE, nothing more and nothing less.
