no, the system is only compatible with blue rays, not CDs or DVDs, although original 60GB systems do work with PS2 games.
Not true about the system it can play CDs DVDs and Blue ray discs like all Blue Ray Players. It also can play select PS1 titles according to Sony. This is for all models from the 20 GB to the 320 GB. For the PS2 games only the early 4 USB port PS3s could play the games and not all of the titles
The best way to answer is with the standard answer on PS3 models that Play PS2 games since the 60GB models differ in what lets them play PS2 games.
The 20 GB PS3 could play PS2 games and so could the 60 GB model that was released with it and those machines are called the first generation PS3 Models. The second Generation PS3 model were the 60 GB Model and the 80 GB model and while they could play the PS2 games it was based on Partially software-based PS2 emulation while the earlier models were Hardware-based PS2 emulation. These 1st and 2nd generation PS3 models all included 4 USB ports and also had Flash memory card readers. The 3rd generation of PS3 models had the 40 GB, the 80 GB, and the 160 GB Harddrives but only 2 USB ports and do not play PS2 games with backward compatibility. The fourth Generation of PS3s are the 120 GB and 250 GB PS3 slim model which do not play PS2 games with Backward Compatibility. All PS3 models play PlayStation 1 Games and do so through software emulation.

Why can PS1 games play on ps3 games?
The difference with the PS1 games is that they are less technically complex and all PS3 can play select titles because it was not as difficult to engineer the PS3 to be able to do this.They are even able to make the PSP and PS2 play PS1 games because they are not that difficult to make a emulation program for.You can play ps1, 2, and 3 games on the playstation 3. No you can not. Only the very first PS3 models with the 4 USB ports played some of the titles.Making the PS3 play PS2 games is nowhere near as simple and the games manufacturers did not have to cooperate in helping Sony make the PS2 games playable in the PS3 as they were not licensed for the PS3 only the PS2.

Some of the titles work, and the PS3 is advertised as able to play PS1 games Yes! EVERY PS3 is capable of playing PSX games, while only some can play PS2 games. Your manual will be able to tell you if this is possible. The original model of the PS3 does but the later models do not. The PS3 plays select PS1 game titles. That is there way of saying it plays them, but don't sue us for false advertising if a certain game does not play. All PS3 are supposed to be able to play select titles of the PlayStation games, while only the 4 USB port early PS3s were supposed to play PS2 games No, you can only play Ps2 and Ps3 games on the PlayStation 3. That depends on what sort of PS3 system you have. If you have the 60GB version, yes.
