Are games on PS2 compatible with PS3?

Only the first generation 80Gb and 60Gb can play ps2 games. All the others cannot play ps2 games


What PlayStation 2 games can you play on PlayStation 3?

It depends on the PlayStation Model the first generation of PS3 could play most of the PS2 games and the second Generation of PS3 models played 97% of the PS3 games. The following information describes which PS3 models were each generation and why they is a difference in how many games they can play: The 20 GB PS3 could play PS2 games and so could the 60 GB model that was released with it and those machines are called the first generation PS3 Models. The second Generation PS3 model were the 60 GB Model and the 80 GB model and while they could play the PS2 games it was based on Partially software-based PS2 emulation while the earlier models were Hardware-based PS2 emulation. These 1st and 2nd generation PS3 models all included 4 USB ports and also had Flash memory card readers. The 3rd generation of PS3 models had the 40 GB, the 80 GB, and the 160 GB Harddrives but only 2 USB ports and do not play PS2 games with backward compatibility. The fourth Generation of PS3s are the 120 GB and 250 GB PS3 slim model which do not play PS2 games with Backward Compatibility. All PS3 models play PlayStation 1 Games and do so through software emulation.
