PS3 compatibility list

[Nitrous]

Check whether your PlayStation® (PS one®) and PlayStation®2 games are playable on your PLAYSTATION®3. Note: This website is updated from time to time so keep checking back for the latest information!

Sony has its hamsters working overtime, and has managed to push out the PS3 backwards compatibility list ahead of Friday's European launch.All you have to do is pop over to the website to see if your favourite PS2 games will be playable on the new console.

To access all of these you'll need firmware version 1.6 installed. It should be available to download from midnight Thursday, in time for you to grab it when you get home. Simply set up your shiny new PS3 and look for the System Update option, or ask customer services to provide you with a disc of the update.

As previously reported, 1.6 has a hat-full of swanky new features, including background downloading for up to six pieces of content, support for Bluetooth keyboard and mice, a full on-screen text-entry keyboard, and an application allowing you to contribute cycles to the Folding@home project.

I think this page is no longer available.

I just got a PS3 160GB and I was curious (regardless if it matters because the latest models are not backwards compatible, at all).

hmm yea, its a shame they removed all the stuff that made playing PS2 games possible.
But since having my PS3 the only PS2 game I've ever played on it was God Of War 2 because i still havn't had the motivation to complete it.

When buying my PS3, I got the 80GB even though it didn't have backward compatability and must admit I regret it now!

Meh, this thread is really no longer needed though is it, as are virtually all the stuck threads

Your right chilli, who knows maybe I'll spend about 5 mins tonight clearing things up in here and the Xbox360 thread.

Tell me about it. I have the 160GB. I feel like my friend was cheated out of his money!

I do love the Blue Ray, though! It looks beautiful on my HDTV.

SO the 80gb doesnt have bc? dammit, I was gonna get one for christmas. It sucks the 60gb isnt availiable in US anymore, I was trying to get my cousin to buy one for me in montreal. I still might get the 80 in the end, just wont play Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 which I was hoping too as I never finished them when my PS2 broke.

Haven't even tested a blue ray on it yet
