Best Answer

The PlayStation 3 has a built in Hard Drive. Ps3 game saves will be saved to the Hard Drive. But to save PlayStation 1 + 2 games, an internal mermory card must be created inside the Hard Drive. PS1 + PS2 games will save there. So no you don't need a memory card for the PlayStation 3.

Do PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games work on the PlayStation 3?

It depends. the only playstation 3 that i know of that can play psOne and ps2 games is the 60gb. The 60gb playstation 3 is the playstation that has the most features. It came with 4 USB slots, 4 memory card readers (located in the black overhang that is left of the disk drive), one sixaxis controller (not dualshock.. they are not as heavy because they don't have a vibrating motor so they don't vibrate), and the ability to read playstation 2 disks. i have not tried a psOne game, but i am pretty sure that it is capable of it. my friend has an 80gb playstation 3 and his cannot play the older playstation games. if you do have a 60gb ps3, then it will not play them unless you download something from the playstation store. you have to download "ps2 system data" or something like that. i have also tried downloading the system software on my friends 80gb and it still said that the ps2 disk was an unsupported disk. so all i know is that the old 60gb does and the old 80gb doesnt.

How can you save files in memory card Slot 2 of your PlayStation 2?

No, one cannot save a PlayStation game without the use of a Memory Card. The original PlayStation lacks internal storage and relies on Memory Cards to create game saves. The same applies to the PlayStation 2, although the 40GB HDD accessory allows the creation of game saves on the internal hard drive. With the release of the PlayStation 3, game saves are created on the internal hard drive, negating the requirement for a separate memory card.
