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.
