No you can not. PlayStation consoles stopped being able to play PS2 games for the PS3 model before the PS3 slim. The is no software, downloads, updates, or anything you can purchase that will allow any PS3 model with less than 4 USB ports to play PS2 games. They will all play PS1 games because the software emulation for the PS1 is less complex than what would be required for the PS2.Some sites with related information has been added under the related links below the answer information.
One of the reasons that PS3 models used to play PS2 games is that in the beginning there were only about a dozen PS3 games and now they have over 1,000. The market is now flooded with used PS3 games and new games are available starting at $20. The hottest new releases do still run over $50 new and $40 used.
no you can not play a ps2 game on a ps3 the hardware is not the same

No the PS2 can not play a PS3 game they are only the same size they are as different as a CD and DVD and that is just the disc. The PS2 can not run the PS3 games programs and lacks the hardware to do what the programs are telling it to do
No PS3 games were developed with the PS3 system's capabilities considered. PS2 games were not developed for the PS3 and play like on a PS2 because to play the game on a PS3 the console must act like a PS2.
The PS3 slim and most of the fat PS3s do not play PS2 games and there is nothing that will change that. If you do not have a PS3 with a Card reader and 4 USB ports you will never be able to play PS2 games on it, except the few PS2 games sold at the Playstation store and already converted into PS3 games
the playstation 3 250 GB can not play playstation 2 games
No. Sony deleted that ability from PS3 so your old PS1 and PS2 games will never be playable on your PS3
No you can not play the PS2 games on the new PS3 and you can not play the PS3 games on the PS2
In short, the 250GB PS3 Slim console WILL play PS1 games but WILL NOT play PS2 games. No PS3 model with 2 USB ports will play PS2 games and can not be made to play them through hardware or software updates or any other changes The 120 GB and 250 GB are older models of PS3 Slim and the new Slim Model PS3s still do not Play PS2 games, but have 160 GB and 320 GB harddrives and sell for $250 and $300 in the USA Every PS3 will play PS1 games. Only the 20GB, 60GB, and the early 1st 80GB PS3s will play PS2 games. They all had 4 USB ports
