The PS3 is a multimedia powerhouse. It plays PS3 games in up to 1080p resolution with full surround sound. The older PS3 also play PS1 & PS2 games. You can surf the internet, load your own music, videos, and pictures onto it's harddrive or stream them from a networked computer. You can watch streamed Netflix movies (with the appropriate Netflix disc). You can download games with the PlayStation Network, or meet new friends on PlayStation Home (Sony's version of Second Life). It will play DVDs and Blu-Ray movies. You can rent or purchase movies online and download them straight to your harddrive via the PlayStation Store. In late 2010 they are releasing a new motion controller that rivals that of both Xbox 360 & Wii.

The PS2 is a DVD player that also plays PS2 games.

It really depends if you are talking about the first playstation 2 model or the small playstation 2 second model.

But now lets compare them the first playstation 2 model v.s the first playstation 3 model i think the smaller one is the playstation 3 model.
