Can You Play PlayStation 2 Games on a PS3?

Best Answer

Yes, but it depends on the model. Early PS3 models (20GB, 60GB, and some 80GB) are backward compatible with PS2 games. Later models, however, dropped this feature.

Yup, if you snag an early PS3 model, you'll be golden with your PS2 games. Just make sure it's one of those backward-compatible ones!

Not all PS3s play PS2 games. Only the early models have that magic.

I used to play my PS2 classics on my old 60GB PS3 all the time! Totally works if you have the right model.
