No you can not. PlayStation consoles stopped being able to play PS2 games for the PS3 model before the PS3 slim. The is no software, downloads, updates, or anything you can purchase that will allow any PS3 model with less than 4 USB ports to play PS2 games. They will all play PS1 games because the software emulation for the PS1 is less complex than what would be required for the PS2.Some sites with related information has been added under the related links below the answer information.
One of the reasons that PS3 models used to play PS2 games is that in the beginning there were only about a dozen PS3 games and now they have over 1,000. The market is now flooded with used PS3 games and new games are available starting at $20. The hottest new releases do still run over $50 new and $40 used.
