The very first post on the thread cites a page as a general resource for checking the backwards compatibility status of games. It's in Japanese so you might want to run it through. Now now folks, don't go up in arms just yet. Even the PS2 wasn't fully backwards compatible right from the start. Also, a lot of the backwards compatibility issues with the PS3 are reportedly going to be handled via firmware updates. So all of these will be fixed in due time.

Well it doesnt surprise me. Every console has it's glitches when first lauched dont they. I mean you cant have everything correct, if the console has like 20 different features or more. But sony will mmost likely take this on board and hopefully send out a firmware update. Because the ps2 and ps1 is only ported to the ps3 and there is no hardware for either of those 2 consoles. So once sony relise this problem im sure they will make a firmware update like V1.15
Take a look at this picture:

See that chip off to the left?
Here's a better shot of it:

That's a PS2 processor. There is a PS2 built in to every single PS3. Backwards compatibility should be perfect. The PS1 did the same thing and as far as I know the only compatibility issues were due to the DVD drive being faster than some games anticipated, so a software update allowed the user to slow down the drive when playing PS1 games.
Also, this list is not just a bunch of obscure titles. GT4, Tekken 5, and Richard Burns Rally are some of the most popular games in their genres and are all titles which have sold consoles in the past. I know I almost bought a PS2 purely for GT4. These games should be the most tested and not have game-stopping glitches. A screwed up effect or two is one thing, full game freezes are something else entirely.
My links were cut off. If you triple-click on them to select the entire thing it still works, but here's the main gallery page for that set of pics:

As Long as the GTA Games, Tekken Games, Driver Games, Metal Gear Games, Guitar Hero Games and FFX work without any problems then I'll be happy as they are the only games I play on on the PS2.
Sure Guitar Hero will work on the PS3, assuming you want to play with the controller and not the guitar.
having BC compatability on this scale is amazing.
At least sony offers the ability to play over 90% of old generation games unlike some other system we know.
You pay for your PS3 BC... there is actually a PS2-on-a-chip in the PS3. That stuff isn't free, you know.
(XBOX360 is 100% software emulation, which is much harder)
Congrats QJ on being featured on Slashdot. Visit games.slashdot.org to view story, hope the servers handled it okay
this sucks sony is not going to get many sales because of the problems with the games

Omg, you call that problems, because sometimes there is no sound? _^_' Go get a life, please...
Sony is has a history off buggy hardware. No wonder its got bugs, its sony. Only thing they do good is TVs. I expect to see many problems in the first few batches. The other 2 systems both had issues on launch. Even though PS1's wasnt major, it would just stupid placement of the Fan placed on the bottom to cause it to overheat. Sony are arrogant bastards and I hope the PS3 fails. Iam not partial to any system, I buy them all but Sony obviously only cares about money and not the community. So we will see this time next year who is in the lead.
O right Kaz. And the 360 didnt have problem??? And people say PS3 fanboys are a problem...
