originally only the premium version (80gb) was going to have backwards compatibility but that was changed just before launch so none of the ps3 models will run ps2 games not even the new ps3 slim
The 80 GB was not the first. The first PS3s which had 4 USB ports and 20 GB or 60 GB could play PS2 games or at least most titles. Then some other models with 60GB and 80 GB also with 4 USB ports came out and could still play many PS2 titles, but not as many as the first model. It was the 40 GB and August 2008 80 GB models that were the first to not play PS2 games and they both also have only 2 USB ports. Everything with 2 USB ports does not play PS2 games

The first PlayStation usually had bad graphics, bad sound effects, and was very, very noisy while reading discs. The PlayStation 2 had a few games with bad graphics and effects and had moderate sound while reading certain discs. The PlayStation 2 will read and play original PlayStation games. Next, the PlayStation 3 has had no bad game graphics or effects and is EXTREMELY quiet when reading discs. You can also play PS1 and PS2 games in the PS3 with no problems.
