PS3 to be fully compatible with minis on December 17, 2009

PlayStation 3 firmware 3.15 was released December 9, 2009, but if you tried to play some of your PSP minis games on the system after downloading it, you probably were a bit disheartened. The optional firmware 3.15 update was promised to provide minis compatibility, but apparently full compatibility isn’t in the cards just yet. Instead, only a portion of the 13 currently available minis games are playable on the system. PSN Stores states that the rest of the minis should be compatible and ready to play on December 17, 2009, when the PlayStation Store updates.

So what games are? PSN Stores’s Chris K put together a region-specific list based on minis he and commenters had tested. If you’re in the US, you can enjoy the minis Kahoots, Stand O’Food and Zombie Tycoon. People in Europe can play Breakquest, Echoes and Stand O’Food. Finally, those residing in Australia can only enjoy Blast Off and Echoes.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise though. We already knew that some of the minis weren’t going to immediately work on the PS3 thanks from Sony’s firmware 3.15 announcement. This just means PS3 owners will have to be a little patient.

Let us know on December 17, 2009 if everything seems to be fixed and if you can play some of the previously incompatible games, like Tetris and Echoes, on your PS3.
