European PS3 backward compatibility status site up now

Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) Senior Director of Communications Dave Karraker, alongside other top Sony executives, promised that a list of backward compatibility titles for Europe will be released through a dedicated website on or before the PlayStation 3 (PS3) launches in Europe this March 23.

You may be delighted to know that this site is already up and running now. A couple of days ago, most of you got a bit pissed when we shared with you a report saying that, after running a series of test,  the European version of the system is only compatible with Eragon. While that wasn’t the official list, it was quite unsettling to say the least.

Anyway, we checked the official compatibility site and as it turned out, there’s actually a sufficient-enough library of video games for PlayStation 2 (PS2) and PlayStation 1 (PSOne) owners alike to enjoy. The games can be viewed according to countries, making it easy for fans to browse the site. The Eragon-test was ran on a German PS3 and it is worth saying that the said site doesn’t have a Germany-dedicated page.

If you want to get a headstart and make a checklist of PS2 titles that you can play on your new system, the Read link below should take you to the European PS3 backwards compatibility status site. A similar site, as you all know, is available as well for North American players.
