Nope, not all PS3 models are backwards compatible with PS2 games. Only the original 20GB and 60GB models could play PS2 games. The 40GB, 80GB, and later models dropped this feature.

Only the first couple models of the PS3 (20GB and 60GB) could play PS2 games. After that, backwards compatibility went *poof*!

The short answer: no.

I had one of the first PS3s, and it played my PS2 games just fine. But my friend's newer PS3 couldn't! Go figure.
