How do I know if my PS3 plays PS2 games?

Best Answer

If your PS3 has four USB ports on the front, it likely plays PS2 games. The later models usually only have two ports and no backward compatibility.

Forget it, just grab a PS2 if you want nostalgia without the headaches.

Only certain PS3 models are backward compatible with PS2 games. The 20GB, 60GB, and some 80GB models work. Look up your model number online to see if it’s one of them.

Check the model number on the back of your PS3. If your model is CECHCxx or CECHExx, it’s backward compatible with PS2 games.
