It will be interesting to see how Sony improves compatibility over time.
Oh, give me a break. "Disappointing"? You expect EVERY game to work? A. It's only 20 on your list, and B. You've obviously other means of playing PSX and PS2 games, so, when would you ever need your PS3 to play them?
Of course, it's COOL to hate on Sony for pretty much everything, so, whatever.

Well, Sony should admit limited backwards compatbility. This reminds me of the Connectix Virtual Game Station list back in the day. First party info should be more reliable than the constantly changing list from a new third-party emulator.
I'm not sure the point is so much that Matt's not buying (he seems to have painfully discarded the Wii for the Sony hunk of junk), but that Sony needs to get the story straight.

Anon: I'm buying the PS3, but that doesn't mean I can't be critical of it.
I've been writing about Sony's problems for a while. I've written consistently of the disappointment in their network strategy, starting with Twisted Metal Black Online back in Feb 2003. I wrote about their botching of the dual-layer DVD issues associated with the first Champions of Norrath game. I've written since Nov 2005 about how Sony didn't appear prepared for the challenge presented by the Xbox 360, long before it was truly fashionable.
Given that the problem game list for the PSOne on PS2 was small (but frustratingly covered several of the games I own) and the Wii appears to work with every GameCube game out of the box, it makes Sony look bad. Pointing out Sony's problems isn't hate, especially as they affect my opinion of the PS3 -- get a grip.
