We already wrote about the somewhat crippled PAL version of the Playstation 3 numerous times. Finally some Germans got first in reviewing the unit focused on backward compatibility and describing their findings over here.
To sum it up: 11 out of 12 games do not work! And they say the games in question were all quite new and popular (even the games made by Sony won't work). The reviewed console had the firmware rev. 1.50 installed which will be the release firmware for all the PS3 delivered on March 23rd. Only the future will tell how fast Sony will bring a new more compatible revision.
Here is the list of the tested games, Eragon being the only success.
- 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
- Lumines Plus
