Is PlayStation 3 backwards compatible?
Yes, but it's complicated! Only the original 20GB and 60GB models of the PS3 can play most PS2 and PS1 games. Later models can still play PS1 games but not PS2.

Short answer: some models, yes. The OG 20GB and 60GB PS3s have backward compatibility, but newer versions, nope.
Not all PS3s can play older games. Early models can handle PS1 and most PS2 games, but you'll need those specific models.
I had an original 60GB PS3, and it worked great with my old PS2 collection. Just make sure you have those earlier versions!
