Yep, but only the original 'fat' PS3s have full backwards compatibility. The slim and super slim ones? Not so much.

Only the initial PS3 models like the 20GB and 60GB versions support PS2 games. Later models ditched this feature to cut costs.

Nope, most PS3s can't play PS2 games. You're better off getting a PS2 or using PSN's digital versions.
