The BBC is reporting that the PS3 may have more kinks to work out than we hoped as many of the older PS1 and PS2 games thought to have been backward compatible are in fact not.

At least not just at the moment.

From the Beeb:

"We are aware that a select number of titles have compatibility issues but these problems will be fixed with a software upgrade that will be available in the near future," a Sony spokesman told the BBC News website.

Sony said that the audio features do not work on some titles, while others have problems with the graphics.

Japanese newspaper Sankei has reported that the problems affect about 200 games sold for the original PlayStation and the PlayStation 2. Sony has declined to give numbers.

Games affected are believed to include Gran Turismo and Final Fantasy."

I wonder if Jumping Flash works?

This is just another in a long line of hiccups for the PS3 but Sony has in fact promised that downloadable patches will cure the problems in due time. Small favors.
