The press release says the European PS3 will be compatible with a "broad range" of original PlayStation games (they're easier to emulate) but a "limited range" of PS2 releases. They'll be launching a website on March 23rd with a searchable list of what will work and promise downloadable patches for more games. Based on experience with Microsoft's updates, however, this announcement says backwards compatibility will be forgotten a year from now.
That's fucking horrible. Though alot of people that will buy a PS3 already own a PS2, the people that don't and want to play a PS2/1 game are fucked. Shit, when PS2 came out I shoved all of my PSXs/Ones in the closet, except the one with the mod chip in it.
