EUROPEAN PLAYSTATION 3 COMPATIBILITY SITE LAUNCHES EARLY

Filed under: PS3 NEWS — Three Speech March 20, 2007 @ 12:30 pm

 

It seems that Sony really have been striving to make up for all the love lost with early compatibility fears. Whilst standing by their original comments that backwards compatibility will not be the focus going forward, the early launch of its compatibility site reveals that 1,782 of the 2,451 PS2 titles (in the SCEE region) available will work on your PS3.

 

The 1.6 firmware upgrade to be released at midnight on March 22 has now been finalised, and the number of games listed is the number that will be available to those owners who upgrade their system software after March 23.

 

See press release below for details of the compatibility site and 1.60 Firmware upgrade:

 

European PLAYSTATION 3 Compatibility Site Launches Early

 

Firmware upgrade at launch to implement connectivity to Folding@home, background downloading and internet browser enhancements

 

London, 20 March 2007 – Sony Computer Entertainment Europe today launched the web site that will allow prospective PLAYSTATION®3 owners to see which of their PlayStation®2 titles are playable on the new European PS 3 hardware model.

 

The web site at http://faq.eu.playstation.com/bc lists those titles from the portfolio of PS2 titles available in the SCEE PAL territories that are playable on PS3.

 

“Our engineers have been working overtime, and have succeeded in delivering a significant number of playable PS2 titles for the European launch”, said David Reeves, President of SCEE. “We will be adding additional titles to this list in future firmware upgrades, but as we have made clear before, in the future our resources will be increasingly focused on developing new services and entertainment features exclusively for PS3, rather than on delivering PS2 backwards compatibility.”

 

New owners of a European PS3 will need to install the latest firmware upgrade to play the PS2 titles listed on the web site. The upgrade will be available at launch from midnight on 22nd March through the PLAYSTATION®Network, from www.PlayStation.com or, for those unable to access the internet, on a disc obtained from local Customer Services.

 

The latest system software upgrade (Version 1.60) will deliver features such as Folding@home connectivity, background downloading of content from the PLAYSTATION®Store, support for Bluetooth® keyboards and mice, and an optional full QWERTY on-screen keyboard for text entry.

 

The Folding@home project allows PS3 owners to connect to Stanford University’s Folding@home program, a distributed computing project aimed at understanding protein folding, misfolding, and related diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and many cancers. Using the power of the Cell Broadband Engine™, PS3 system can perform computer simulations for the Folding@home program ten times faster than your average home PC. Once PS3 system is updated to version 1.60, users can easily sign up to join the Folding@home program by clicking on the appropriate logo on the XMB™ (XrossMediaBar) under the Network icon. Then, when the PS3 system is left on and reaches idle mode, it will automatically begin a simulation and, once completed, send information back to a central computer(*1). Additional details about Folding@home are available at http://www.scei.co.jp/folding/en/.

 

Firmware Version 1.60 also delivers a more convenient process for downloading content to the PS3 from the PLAYSTATION Store. Up to 6 pieces of content from the PlayStation store can be queued up for download while the user enjoys other functions of the PS3 system, including playing games, browsing the web, using media functions including photo browsing, video and music playback. Progress of downloads can be easily tracked under a new Download Management menu under the XMB’s Network icon(2).

 

Firmware 1.60 also provides support for keyboards and mice enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology. Text entry is further expanded with the option to use a full QWERTY on-screen keyboard, in addition to the existing single tap keyboard. PS3’s built-in Web browser is also enhanced with the ability to zoom in to the optimal viewing size for the selected area of a Web page at the press of a button, as well as an optional tool for reducing flicker when the PS3 system is using interlaced video out (480i or 1080i).

 

(*1) To run the application automatically in idle state, PS3 must be connected to the network with both main power switch and power button turned on. Option setting must also be changed as this automatic feature is off at default.

 

(*2) Please refer to http://eu.playstation.com/help-support/ps3 for full functionality as some limitations may apply. The speed of download depends on bandwidth and network usage.

Høres bra ut.

 

Og 1782 av 2451 ps2 titler spillbare fra dag 1 i europa er imponerende.

Så ut som en respektabel liste. Alle de store titlene ser alt ut til å være redegjort for. Eneste skåret i gleden ser ut til å være at den har problemer med de fleste nye Final Fantasy spillene. Litt overrasket der, ville tro Sony ville ha brukt ekstra tid på å få dem til å fungere plettfritt.

 

Også litt sært at alle Sing Star spillene er ført opp med den dårligste kompatiblitetsgraden, trodde ikke de ville være så krevende hardware-messig. :hmm:

 

Btw, er jeg blind eller er det noe som mangler under?

Hva med det at MAAAAAAAAAANGE mennesker kommer ikke til å koble PS3'en til nett? Det er ufattelig mange av de.

 

Edit: At dere har internett, betyr ikke at hele verden har det, for de 12 åringene som ikke forsto det.

Du kan få tilsendt cd plate med oppdateringen graits, eller du kan laste den ned på en usb stick eller ekstern harddisk fra pc'en din. Eller om du ikke har pc, så kjenner du garantert noen som har pc :)

Ok, men alikevel.

Jeg mener forsatt at når man kjøper noe, så bør det kunne gjøre det de reklamerer for.

Når man må drive med masse ekstra ting, så mener JEG det er bull.

 

Håper nå at alle PS3 kundene får tilsendt eventuelle oppgraderinger til emuleringen da, uten å be om det, slik at de får spillt PS2 spillene sine.

 

Man skal jo ikke måtte kjøpe nye spill for å få utbedret feilen ved konsollen heller.

La oss ta for oss den lista som det tyske bladet laget for sin "test" som ble diskutert her tidligere.

 

Nøkkel:

(1) Should play on PLAYSTATION®3 with noticeable issues

(2) Should play on PLAYSTATION®3 with some minor issues

(3) No known issues to date

 

Prince of Persia: The Two Thones (1)

God of War (3)

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty - ikke på listen

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (1) og (3), spørs på hvilken versjon av spillet du har

Shadow of the Colossus (3)

Guitar Hero 2 - ikke på listen

Okami (1)

Eragon (1)

GTA: Liberty City Stories (3)

Final Fantasy X-2 (1)

Ratchet & Clank 3 - ikke på listen

Lumines Plus - ikke på listen

 

Så, 4 var ikke på listen, 4 (evt 5) som virker med merkbare problem/issues, og 4 (evt 3) som virker feilfritt.
