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.
Older PS3 Models with 4 USB ports will play PS2 games as seen on related PlayStation network link. All PS3 models with only 2 USB ports can not play PS2 games and there are no updates, downloads or additional hardware or cables that will allow them to play PS2 games. All models of PS3 can play PS1 games with software emulation.
Not if you just brought a new PS3. People who has a PS3 that play PS2 games purchased it because they knew which older model to get. All the PS3 models with only 2 USB ports to plug your charger cable into do not play PS2 games. You need to find one of the first models with 4 USB ports and then it will play some PS2 game titles.
well if you have a used 60 gb ps3 but if you have any new ps3 you can get an software update to play ps2 and ps1 games hope i helped
The older model PS3 with 4 USB ports are backward compatible and the rest are not see related link
