The newer PS3 models (like the slimline model) do not include backwards compatibility for ANY PS2 games, but they can still play original PS games.

∙ 11y agoThey work on all fat models. You have to download a package from the Ps3 store for free. They don't work on the 160 gb models and they work on some slims.
That is a totally false statement. Fat PS3s had some models with a card reader and 4 USB ports and only those could play PS2 games. There was never anything that you could purchase. download. or add, and no hardware or software to a PS3 that could not already play PS2 games to be able to allow them to play them. For the ones that can play PS2 games they can only play some titles and only the 20 GB and 60 GB USA or Japan models can play the most PS2 titles. PS3s have not been procuded that can play PS2 games since the 80GB switched to a newer model in August 2008. Even before that the 40 GB models could not plauy the PS2 games. The ability to play PS2 games can not be added on and no PS3 produced after August 2008 can play PS2 games

∙ 12y agoThe 20 GB PS3 could play PS2 games and so could the 60 GB model that was released with it and those machines are called the first generation PS3 Models. The second Generation PS3 model were the 60 GB Model and the 80 GB model and while they could play the PS2 games it was based on Partially software-based PS2 emulation while the earlier models were Hardware-based PS2 emulation. These 1st and 2nd generation PS3 models all included 4 USB ports and also had Flash memory card readers. The 3rd generation of PS3 models had the 40 GB, the 80 GB, and the 160 GB Harddrives but only 2 USB ports and do not play PS2 games with backward compatibility. The fourth Generation of PS3s are the 120 GB and 250 GB PS3 slim model which do not play PS2 games with Backward Compatibility. All PS3 models play PlayStation 1 Games and do so through software emulation.
