PlayStation 2 game compatibility on the PlayStation 3 is as follows:
- The 20 GB model and the 60 GB model with model number CECHAxx can play PlayStation 2 games normally, as they have the full PlayStation 2 hardware contained in them.
- 60 GB and 80 GB models with model numbers CECHCxx and CECHExx are capable of playing some PlayStation 2 games via emulation. Compatibility is dependent on firmware updates from Sony.
- The 160 GB model, the 40 GB model, and 80 GB models with model numbers CECHKxx and CECHLxx have no emulation support and thus cannot play any PlayStation 2 games at all.
- All Slim models are incapable of playing PlayStation 2 games.

The forty and eighty gigabyte were released first, but the forty gigabyte PlayStation three cannot play PlayStation two games. Any other model can.

Why wont PlayStation 3 play PlayStation 2 games?
Depending on the model, the ability for the PlayStation 3 to play PlayStation 2 games can be seriously impaired or missing. The first PlayStation 3s (20 GB) contained the hardware to run PS2 games natively. 60 GB models NTSC also support PS2 games natively. 80 GB NTSC models with 4 USB ports can run PS2 games via emulation. 80 GB models with 2 USB ports, as well as all 160 GB models are completely incompatible with PS2 titles. If you absolutely need PS2 compatibility without purchasing a PS2 (which would probably be cheaper), purchase a 60 GB model. Actually all ps3s can play ps2 games on them no matter what the gb. I have a 40gb ps3 and i play ps3 games on it all the time. But you have to go to the playstation store and download the free ps2 content to play ps2 games on a ps3.
