Only if you have a PS3 that is backwards compatible with PS2 games. This includes the 20GB, 60GB, and 80GB models. If you do not have one of these models of PS3 you will not be able to play Ratchet Deadlocked.

Not all models are the same and the newest super slim models have different Plastic cases than even the earlier Slim models
Used prices are not consistent and there are many PS3 models all in a different condition and some includes games on the harddrive
Yes the PS3 slim is just the newest model of the PS3 or the 4th Generation of PS3 models and can play all the PS1 and PS3 games. The ability to play PS2 games was already lost on earlier PS3 models known as the 3rd generation PS3 models

NO it is not. The only PS3 80 GB model that was backward compatible was CECHE. It was the last PS3 model that was backward compatible. Even the PS3 40 GB models CECHG and CHECHH were not backward compatible. The related link for Playstation support provides details on the different models

The earliest models of the PS3 was the Cell Evaluation System model CEB-1020 from January 2005 for Debugging and Evaluation created before Models CEB-2030 for software vendors from March 2005- December 2005.

Only PS3 models that have 4 USB ports from the first and second generation of PS3 models
