But isn't that the same half-assed software BC everyone criticized the Xbox 360 for, with which only some games will work 100% correctly?

That's a bit of an exageration, the vast majority of games work fine. Sony has a website where you can check if your games are compatible or not.

I read that some of those "compatible" games have problems during some stages or cutscenes, which is why I said "100% correctly". Apologies if I'm wrong.

 

They don't list games as compatible or non-compatible. They are listed as:

	No known issues to date
	Should play on PLAYSTATION®3 with some minor issues
	Should play on PLAYSTATION®3 with noticeable issues

The vast majority come under the "No known issues to date" category. This is for the PAL 60Gb PS3 which has the same BC as the US 80Gb.
