Only the older PS3s are backwards compatible. If your PS3 is slim or super slim, sorry, no dice!

If you have the original 20GB or 60GB models, congrats, they're fully backwards compatible! Look for extra USB ports and memory card slots on the front.

Check the model number! CECHCxx and CECHExx are partially compatible, while CECHAxx and CECHBxx offer full compatibility with PS2 games.

I have a 60GB 'fat' PS3, plays all my PS2 games perfectly. Check the storage size and front ports!
