Sony released its
PlayStation 3 v1.5 firmware update, and many gamers report it actually boosts backward compatibility for PS2 games by all but eliminating jaggies and visual artifacts that aren't there when playing the same titles on an actual PS2. However, there's no reference to these improvements in the
official release notes, which list only these new features:
- Your user icon can be selected from a personal photo
- Auto sign-in with a saved password
- Improved wireless security options
- A toggle to turn off a menu sound
- An option to delete backup data
- The ability to input Korean text
It's odd that such a significant change as PS2 backward compatibility wasn't listed. For those of you with PS3s, what do you say - is it better? Are any of the games on the
glitch list working now? If true, the news might move some of those PS3s languishing on store shelves...
