Sony has quietly released a small update for the PlayStation 3 (PS3) console that improves backwards compatibility with PlayStation 2 (PS2) titles. "New for 1.92: Playability status with the PS3 system has changed for some PlayStation 2 format titles. To check on the latest status, visit the search site for compatible titles (coming soon)," the PlayStation 3 update page reads.
A search of an updated backwards compatibility site returns different results based on which hardware model of PlayStation 3. The 60GB version and 80GB versions of the PS3 in the United States include different hardware. The 80GB version has had its PS2 hardware stripped, meaning it depends on software updates to maintain a level of backwards compatibility with older titles.
