The original 20GB and 60GB PS3 models are backwards compatible with most PS2 games. Look for the models with four USB ports.

Only the early 'fat' PS3 models with the 20GB or 60GB hard drives support PS2 games. Later models like the slim and super slim don't.

Short answer: The first-gen 'phat' PS3s, specifically the 20GB and 60GB versions, are the ones you want for backwards compatibility.
