[H]ardOCP reports: The controversy over the lack of backwards compatibility on PAL PS3s is picking up and recent comments from Sony executives aren?t helping the situation.
We've had two statements now, one from SCEE and one from SCE Australia, and both go out of their way to emphasize that you won't need your PS2 games because of what the PS3 can do. That doesn't sound like a commitment to backwards compatibility, it sounds like they're covering their asses.
