No it is a myth that you can just download something and be able to play PS2 games, another part of this myth is that it was available from the PlayStation Store.
The PS3 slim and most of the fat PS3s do not play PS2 games and there is nothing that will change that. If you do not have a PS3 with a Card reader and 4 USB ports you will never be able to play PS2 games on it, except the few PS2 games sold at the Playstation store and already converted into PS3 games
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.
The fat ps2's in my opinion play better than the slimline ones
Yes, PS3 Slim can play Rock Band.
The first PS3 had 4 USB ports and they were backward compatible all the Fat PS3 with 2 USB ports lack both the hardware and the software to play PS2 games. The PS3 slim also does not have this feature, but it was lost more than a year before the PS3 slim was released back in 2008 and even in November 2007 for the 40 GB model YES as long as the ps3 is not the ps3 SLIM because the people who buit the ps3 SLIM did not do it but on the NOT SLIM ps3 you can feel free to do so. Totally untrue
The PS3 slim will not play PS2 games with full backwards compatibly.
Yes they can and they can also play on the new slim released in May 2010. They really are only PS3 games and not games for the slim or fat PS3
None the PS3 slim does not play PS2 games
you can`t
The PS2 Slim Plays all the PS2 games the Fat PS2 would.
yes
Yup, the ps3 slim will play ps3 games. It is the same as a normal ps3 but has a slimmer look to it but most regular ps3s has more memory.
All PS3 models can play PS3 games and also select PS1 games
Purchase them from the PlayStation Network Store
You Can't.
No the new PS3 slim can not play PS2 games. To make the PS3 profitable and have it quit selling for a loss Sony stopped making PS3s that could play PS2 games long before the release of the PS3 slim. The only reason you could ever play PS2 games on the first PS3s was the game catalog for the PS3 was next to nothing. Once the catalog of games increased they dropped the ability to play PS2 games.
The PSP-2000 uses UMD cartridges so you can buy games for it in store.
