How Do You Know If Your PS3 Is Backwards Compatible?
You can tell if your PS3 is backwards compatible by checking the model number. The original 20GB and 60GB models (CECHCxx and CECHAxx) and the 80GB models (CECHExx) with four USB ports are the ones you’re looking for. If your PS3 has two USB ports, it’s not compatible.

Look at the number of USB ports. If your PS3 has four USB ports, it’s likely backwards compatible. If it has two, it’s not.
Backwards compatibility? Only the early 'fatties' (20GB, 60GB, and certain 80GB) models. Slim and Super Slim models? No dice.
Trust me, I spent hours figuring this out. If your PS3 has four USB ports and a glossy finish, you’re in business!
