Sony lists games compatible with PlayStation 3
Reuters: Sony Corp. on Tuesday moved to head off a public relations disaster by announcing which older PlayStation 2 games will work on the European version of the PlayStation 3 console due out on Friday.Sony said last month that the PS3 model to be launched in Europe would lack a chip used in the earlier models introduced in Japan and North America in November last year.
The function of the chip would be replaced by software, making the console cheaper to produce but taking away the almost full backward compatibility enabling PS2 games to play on PS3.
Sony's website lists games that should work. "If your game is not listed here, emulation is not yet supported on PlayStation 3," it says.
The acceptance of the new PS3, with reduced compatibility, will have a big impact on Sony's earnings.
