PlayStation 2 game compatibility on the PlayStation 3 is as follows:
they dont u need the 80 gig console 2 play em'
Yes the 60 GB is the only Harddrive size that all models play PS2 games, some 80 GB models do not play PS2 games.
No - you can not play PS2 games in your 120G PS3.
Yes it plays PlayStation 1 games, but it will not play PS2 games games and there is no method for that to change.
yes you definitely can just pop it in
it surely can No and it tells you it can not on the PS3 box and the ads for the ps3
While the 250 GB PlayStation 3 slim can play PS1 games it can not play PS2 games and their is nothing you can purchase to make it play them.
No
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.
the playstation 3 250 GB can not play playstation 2 games
On the normal 40 Gb you cant, on the 60+ Gb ps3 you are able to play ps2 games (:
Yes the Playstation games will play on all PS3 models
This depends on the model of your PlayStation three. Sony has issued out four different models of the PlayStation three, these are; The forty gigabyte, sixty gigabyte, eighty gigabyte and the one hundred and sixty gigabyte. The forty and eighty gigabyte were released first, but the forty gigabyte PlayStation three cannot play PlayStation two games. Any other model can.
yes it does and the older machines do it with a hardware based system like the 20 GB PS3
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.
