The internet sux so much as, how many real showstoppers have been reported that wasn´t fixed with the 1.10 firmware patch?
The real problem seems to be the Blu-Ray drive doing stuff differently/faster/slower than the old drive?

Final Fantasy XII sure started up fiendishly fast. I don't have it, but I highly doubt the PS2 version started up that quickly. I'd be interested to hear about any load-time comparisons.
Well, PS3's DVD drive is 12X isn't it? Compared to the 4X drive on PS2...
Final Fantasy 12 loads amazingly fast even on PS2 (by the way, i'm 8 hours in...), i guess on PS3 it's even better.
You call 8 hours a fast loading time? damn you have patience....
Only just read this
I am impressed with the level of testing and compatibility support overall! Looking up an obvious title, you get stuff like:

It's the No major problems for this title that kinda worries me... How about minor problems?
And what constitute a major problem and a minor problem?crazygambit

It's the No major problems for this title that kinda worries me... How about minor problems?
Well...
If a flashing black square appears on the pointer in one battle is major enough to be listed, I think you got your answer.
It's a legally conservative way of stating "No problems". I agree that it is worrying, but after hitting in all PS2 game names I could think of, "No major problems" seems to mean, basically, that it runs perfectly fine.It's the No major problems for this title that kinda worries me... How about minor problems?
Now if for some obscure reason on some sidequest that is fifty hours into the game and only available if you made the right dialog choices forty hours earlier there is a misplaced pixel, you probably still want to have a way to shield yourself from the vagaries of the US legal system. Stating "no major problems" is one possible way.
Ok, so I don't have a PS3!
Does the HDTVXploder disk work on it?
I'm playing FFXII for PS2 in 720p on my TV with it's vertical expand option and the game looks awesome. I don't want to have to play FFXII in 720p on my old PS2 because my new, "more powerful", PS3 only does 480i with the game.

I think you'll be very, very luck to have that work on PS3, but i guess you're gonna have to use your PS2 anyway until you get a PS3... Then you can try...
It seems the general consensus is that the six axis's analogue sticks are an improvement over the dual shock's. Has anybody noticed an improvement in control on older PS2 games, giving them a new lease of life? Is it now possible to aim in KillZone, for example, without swearing at the screen?
