    Sony has launched a site for Euro PS3 owners to see what PS2 and PS1 games they can play on their shiny new console come March 23rd. Games are listed by console type, with three levels of compatibility...working perfectly, working with tiny problems, and working with major problems.

    The list covers the new 1.6 firmware revision, so some of the titles the Inquirer tested are now listed as fully compatible, such as God of War and Shadow of the Colossus.

    While the list is by no means complete, it still represents a sizeable chunk of the previous systems' libraries, roughly 72%, and with updates that figure is guaranteed to grow. It's already much better than the 360, which wouldn't let me play Armed and Dangerous this weekend, a mortal sin if I ever heard one.
