You don't get a PS3 to Play PS2 games. Some of the early ones made before August 2008 with 4 USB ports could play some titles. Nothing you can do will make a PS3 play PS2 games if it was not part of the original features

Can the ps2 play PS3 games if you have a PS3 gamecard?
No of course there is no such thing as a PS3 game card to allow the PS2 to Play the Game. Just what is a PS3 game card and why would you believe that anything would allow you to play the PS3 games in your PS2. First the PS3 games cost so much two newly released games is more than you pay for a new PS2 and one is more than a used reconditioned PS2 costs. PS3 is much too advanced a game to be played by a PS2 and it has to be downgraded to allow the Nintendo Wii to play any of it's games

Are Playstation games compatible with Playstation 3?
Some of the titles work, and the PS3 is advertised as able to play PS1 games Yes! EVERY PS3 is capable of playing PSX games, while only some can play PS2 games. Your manual will be able to tell you if this is possible. The original model of the PS3 does but the later models do not. The PS3 plays select PS1 game titles. That is there way of saying it plays them, but don't sue us for false advertising if a certain game does not play. All PS3 are supposed to be able to play select titles of the PlayStation games, while only the 4 USB port early PS3s were supposed to play PS2 games No, you can only play Ps2 and Ps3 games on the PlayStation 3. That depends on what sort of PS3 system you have. If you have the 60GB version, yes. If 40BG, no. the above answer is correct about PS2 games only; for the PS or original PlayStation games, the games of many titles play without a problem on all PS3 models Yes...they will..but some ps1 games will tend to freeze if your ps1 games are scratched. Some PS1 titles can be played on all PS3 according too Sony PlayStation Yes the PS3 was designed to play PS1 game titles

No the PSP plays PSP games. The PS2 and PS3 games would be too complex to run even if a PSP version was made it has to be made with less capabilities so the PSP can run the program
Why don't PlayStation 2 games work on the PlayStation 3 Slim?
They do not work because the games are software developed for the PS2 and they do not have the hardware and software that was in the first PS3 models released. Many PS2 titles could not even play in the USA 60 GB PS3 model and less in the EUR release using a partially software based emulation. Sony decided not to make a PS3 backward compatible before the PS3 slim was released . All 40 GB models do not play PS2 games and the Fat 80 GB models with 2 USB ports do not play PS2 games. One of the main reasons that Sony stopped Backward compatibility besides cost was problems making the PS2 games software work in the PS3. They could not make game developers modify the games to work on the PS3 because the agreement for the license was for the PS2. The answer below is incorrect according to Sony you can not make a PS3 that does not play PS2 games play them with any software or hardware updates. They say there is nothing you can do to make a PS3 that does not play PS2 games able to play them They Don't Work Because The Graphics Produced On A Ps2 Game Are too low Standards For The ps3 Console Resulting in It not Working But you Can get Ps3's Modified to play the ps2 games although prices for that range from £300 - £700. Its Not worth wasting money when you could easily get a ps2 console off ebay for £20 - £35. Thank u ID for the help
Do is play PS2 games in 40 GB PS3?
No, you can't play PS2 games on a 40GB PS3. If that's what your getting at? If you can find a 60GB one I think that might work or one of those special Metal Gear Solid PS3s that might work too. But otherwine no, Sony took out the backwards compatability.

How do you convert PS3 games to play on a PSP?
You can't, PS3 Games are too powerful
What disks Can be inserted into your PS3?
PS3 games, PS2 games (but you cannot put PS2 games in the new version of the PS3 for some odd reason...) DVDs and if you have an HD ready TV you can play blue-ray DVDs too) I might not be so sure about it though, there could be more things you can do, but this is generally what i think. You can put DVD's into the new slim PS3s and they play much better than on a DVD player that doesn't have upscaling.
