The EU launch is in 3 days....I doubt it can get much better. Thats still nearly 30% of games not working, I am both dissapointed and pleased. Firstly it's a great figure for sony and a great achievement to get so many working (much better than Microsofts efforts which I was most displeased bout) but seriously just under 700 games don't work on it. Thats a lot, if it's any good ones it's even worse too so I'd prefer to see what games are working aswell. Much better than I antiipated though so Sony gets my thumbs up this round.

As long as GT4, all the GTA's , the God of War titles and Shadow of the Colossus can be run, I'm glad.

Yep. You can queue up to six downloads at one time, I believe. "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."

I now laugh at all the people who were like, "Sony is making an inferior machine for Europe"....and, "I am buying a 360 because the PS3 will have no backward compatibility". I have to give it up to Sony. I expected them to only have about 50% of the titles compatible. This is great.

Not a bad list at all. much better than the 'other' next gen console company! Who have a very long list of games that just dont work at all! Which p*ssed me right off! I just wonder what 'Noticeable Issues' are or mean?? Still I check the list against my games all 90% of them are fine! As opposed to the 5 out of 25 games I had for the 'Other' next gen console.

DMC1:- 3/3
DMC3:- 3/3
DMC2:- 1/3

lol, who could've seen that coming? :P

Disgaea 1:- 3/3
Shadow of the Colossus:- 3/3
Alien Hominid:- 3/3

Well, that's a start, shame about God Hand, Okami and the MGS series, but hey, I still have a working PS2. Looks like my old companion's keeping me occupied for a bit longer yet. This is still pre-release and I won't be buying for a few months yet, so if they're going to continue to update the B/C, then that's one of my gripes with the new console put to rest.

Games not on the list will not work with the PS3. So therefore, I assume, that games on the list will definitely work but with noticeable or 'major issues. These may be problems with FMV sequences since it states there are graphical corruptions.

Why do you even bother about FFX-2? It's mainly bad for Okami and MGS3. Minor issues are like a sound glitch at a certain point or a small graphical glitch in one of the maps. Well, that's what it was during the NA launch.

72% compatibility. Much better than it was expected.

No where on the site does it state that a game has *MAJOR* issues. The ratings go from 1)no known issuses to date to 2)minor issues to 3)noticable issuses.

 when the suggestion to help with the noticable issues is to skip all the FMV's, its a major issue

Well it says.. "You should skip optional FMV sequences (a small number of games have graphical corruption in one or more video sequences)".

Doesnt say that the FMVs WONT play just that it wont look pretty. All im pointing out is that sayin it has MAJOR issuses can be mis information.

so graphical corruption isn't a major issue to you.

Gameplay owns graphics, but not corrupted graphics, they will just piss you off.

Its most likely to do with the FMV sequences since its suggested on the site to skip them when possible.

So where talking about FMV sequences ,but lets say ingame sequences like FF has a lot of ,that will probably be better then.
