I looked up final fantasy 8 on the playstation 3 website to see if it was backwards compatible. It says that 40-60% of the screen is going to be black during combat. Have they fixed this? I was looking forward to playing it on my PS3 (im getting it july 4th) but if 60% of the screens going to be black I won't even bother. Sad that I already spent 730$ on the console and it can't even play a ps1 game properly.

It works fine on american PS3's. But if you're like...european, now that's a different issue.
