The newest PS3 is irreversible. The thing won't even play PS2 games and its only $100 bucks or so cheaper. I've heard it has some things fixed from the older model but it does'n play PS2 or PS1 games.

Can you play PS1 and PS2 games on PS3?

Think about it, if people could play PS3 games on a PS1 or PS2 then why not buy a ps1 for 5 dollars and play the ps3 games on it? To answer your question, no you can't but you can play PS2 games on your PS3 now sure about PS1 you might be able to. You also can not purchase a new PS3 and play PS2 games on it and have not been able to for years. Only the old 4 USB port models could play PS2 games and then it was not every title game available back in 2006 0r 2007.

Why can PS1 games play on ps3 games?

The difference with the PS1 games is that they are less technically complex and all PS3 can play select titles because it was not as difficult to engineer the PS3 to be able to do this.They are even able to make the PSP and PS2 play PS1 games because they are not that difficult to make a emulation program for.You can play ps1, 2, and 3 games on the playstation 3. No you can not. Only the very first PS3 models with the 4 USB ports played some of the titles.Making the PS3 play PS2 games is nowhere near as simple and the games manufacturers did not have to cooperate in helping Sony make the PS2 games playable in the PS3 as they were not licensed for the PS3 only the PS2.
