Yes and No. It depends on what kind of ps3 you have. If you have the 60 gb ps3 you can play all ps2 and ps1 games on it. BUT if you have the 40,80,160 gb you CANNOT play ps2 games on them. BUT all of the 80 gb models let you play all ps1 games. Only some 80 gb models are compatible with all PS games.

Only the first generation PS3's are backwards compatible and have since been discontinued. I personally think this is ridiculous and have started a facebook group entitled, "All PS3 systems should be BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE!"
I would greatly appreciate if anyone who is willing joins.

What is a backwards compatible model of the 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.

Can you buy a PS3 that is not backwards and make it backwards compatible?
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.
