I expect the emulation to be pretty good for games that adhere to Sony's development guidelines - which probably covers most of the top games from the top development studios (probably the only ones you'd want to keep around anyway). I wouldn't be surprised to see a version revision released in the US/Jap markets that adopts the same software emulation to save money.

I'd love a Wii though - looks really good fun :-) This news sucks. I'd previously had a PS 1 and got my PS2 on launch day in the UK... I've been a solid Sony supporter in the past, but it sounds like European consumers have really been screwed over here. It all makes me think that if I was to buy another console, it would be an XBox 360. I’ve pretty much given up gaming in the past few years through lack of time.
