For the most part, no. Only the earliest PS3 models support PS2 games so if you have a newer model, you're out of luck.

Yes, but it depends on the model. The original 20GB and 60GB models had hardware-based backwards compatibility with PS2 games. Later models, like the Slim and Super Slim, only support PS1 games.

I can confirm from personal experience! My old 60GB PS3 plays my favorite PS2 classics without a hitch. Just make sure you have the right version!
