No only the first models with 4 USB ports are backwards compatible and they also vary with the first two models (20 GB & 60 GB) having greater Backward capability than the second two models (60 GB & 80 GB) which included partial software based emulation. Not all of the 80 GB models have Backward compatibility and only the one with 4 USB ports. All 60 GB models have 4 USB ports as does the 20 GB model.
The PS3 that were Backwards compatible are being refurbished and sold from places like Gamestop. Production on earlier PS3 models of all but the newest PS3 slim has stopped. I have seen new PS3s being sold on Ebay that are Backwards compatible and they are going for twice what the PS3 slim sells for,
Only on the original PS3 version is backwards compatible. All of the more recent versions( including the ps3 slim) have dropped the compatibility feature which means that we cannot play the game that people have been waiting for forever on their ps3 unless it is the original ps3.
Hate to tell you this, but every ps3 can play ps1 games including the slim. 20gb 60gb 80gb are backwards compatible with ps2 games.
yes No you can not turn a PS3 into a Backwards Compatible PS2 game player. That's why the demand for older Backwards Compatible PS3 models with the 4 USB ports has increased the resale value. If you could make a Backwards Compatible PS3 Slim 250 GB why would someone pay as much for an old PS3 with an unknown history that might have been repaired many times.
The fat ps2's in my opinion play better than the slimline ones
yes
All ps1 games are playable on ps3, so Metal Gear Solid 1 is backwards compatible, but only backwards compatible systems can play the second and third game on ps3.
First Generation models ie. those that were released first were fully backwards compatible and played PS2 and PS1 games as well as PS3 games. The second generation of the PS3 also which also had 4 USB ports were also Backwards compatible with many of the PS2 games. All other PS3 models lack the backwards compatible feature and are not considered to be Backwards compatible. see related link.
The original PS3 is "technically" superior. But, the PS3 slim consumes less power, and is smaller. There isn't as much heat with the slim... Personally, I prefer the Original PS3 over the slim.
If you PS3 is not backwards compatible nothing you can do will change that
only if you have the ps3 version got be backwards compatible
The PS3 slim will not play PS2 games with full backwards compatibly.
