Is it still backwards compatible with PS2/PS games?

it'll be backwards compatible, but I have a feeling it's going to be a lot of software emulation like the xbox 360.
it was easy to do in the PS2.. they just used the PS ONE processor as the controller chip. I don't think the PS3 will be packaging all the hardware of the PS2 into the PS3 this time around.
and considering the sell-through numbers and the xbox 360's meager production numbers, the PS3 will have nearly 3 times the number of units available at launch than MS has made available all year -- ok, not quite that many, but if they meet their projected numbers, they'll actually pass xbox at launch.
