The Inq has word from ze Jjermans that of 12 high profile PS2 games test only 1 works on the PAL PS3 using software emulation. (Firmware 1.5)

the list:
# God of War
# MGS 2: Sons of Liberty
# MGS 3: Snake Eater
# Shadow of the Colossus
# Guitar Hero 2
# Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones
# Okami
# GTA: Liberty City Stories
# Eragon
# Final Fantasy X-2
# Ratchet & Clank 3

And the winner is . .. . . Eragon.

That's one to the nuts. Admittedly, it's early days, they still have, oh, 9 days before launch?

Well if they had just left that bloody emotion chip in they woudl not have these probs.

Think I'll hold off for a while and see if PAL land does ever get the proper P$3 again....

The only old trusty I own is my Gamecube :D

I understand that you getting the PS3 for PS3 games but just the fact that they advertise one thing then give less to europe and charge the same...
Just bloody annoying.
