You need an early version of the PS3, like the 20GB or 60GB models from launch. Later models don't have the hardware to support PS2 games.
None of the newer models can play PS2 games. Stick with the OG, 20GB, or 60GB if you need that backward compatibility.
Quick tip: Only the fat PS3s with 4 USB ports can play PS2 games. Anything else, and you're outta luck!
