Sony lists PS3-compatible older titles

huh....wonder if the ps1 is still supported at all?

sux to be living in europe because FF series and GOD2 will be having lots of problems with the ps3.

get your facts straight please b/c God of war 2 works perfectly on european ps3. And yes, ps1 is still supported.

As of now, 72% of all PAL PlayStation 2 titles will run on the PlayStation (1,782 games out of the 2,451 titles that were released).

PlayStation 2
Total games: 2,451**
Total games working: 1,782 (72.7% of all games) (Google Docs Spreadhsheet)

* Minor issues: 254 (14.25% of working games)
* Noticeable issues: 435 (24.41% of working games)

Technical problems

Sony has published a website which contains a list of all older games that will work on the PS3 and states if there are any known technical problems when playing the titles.

There are three levels of compatbility for the games that will play - no known issues, some minor issues and noticeable issues.

Recent PS2 titles such as Pro Evolution Soccer 6, God of War II, Final Fantasy XII and Fifa 07 will play but there are likely to be some technical glitches.

Classic games such as Ico, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Grand Theft Auto will also play on the new machine.

In order to play the older games, PlayStation 3 owners will have to update the console's system software, called firmware, either online or via a disk.

More than 115 million PlayStation 2 consoles have been shipped worldwide, and almost two million of its successor were shipped between its launch and the end of December. More than one million PS3 will be available for the European launch.
