Kotaku claims that they sent [Only registered users can see links. ] an inquiry about changes on PAL backwards compatibility, and here's what they got:

This upgrade focused on upscaling and there were no significant backward compatibility enhancements. As we have pointed out on many occasions, our engineer's focus is now on innovative applications and services for PS3 and not B/C, so you are not going to see major changes in future updates.


What happened to the promise of more playable PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games for the PS3? We'd love to hear [Only registered users can see links. ]'s answer to that.

Hmm....yeah, they dont seem to be dealing with the compatibility issue for PS and PS2 games. I guess its a wait for the next firmware update to see if they deal with it then .
