Could you play ps2 game in you ps3 system?

May be...

Yes you could play some of them.

yes you can. my friends say that it depends on the size of the hard drive. if you have an 80 gig ps3 then it could play 80% of ps2 games. if you have 40 then its 40% and so on. you can play playstation 2 games on it, but it will depend on the game and the ps3

The answer depends on the PS3 version you have.



The 60GB version has the PS2 chip in it and so the answer here is Yes, all PS2 games will work on a 60GB PS3.



When they changed to the 40GB PS3 they took out the PS2 chip to save money and they use software to 'emulate' the PS2 but it doesn't work perfectly, some games work but not all and some work partially.



There's a list of which PS1 and PS2 games work on the PS3 and which ones there are known issues with here:

you can play it on the 80gb, but not the 40gb.

20gig= i dont know

40gig= no

60gig=100% yes

80gig= 80% yes

1). 20GB has no chrome trim, no memory card reader and no wi-fi. Not manufactured anymore. Has the best backwards compatibility with PS2 games due to Emotion Engine (PS2's CPU) and Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU) installed.

2). NTSC 60GB has the same backwards compatibility as 20GB version, also has memory card reader and wi-fi. Has a chrome trim. Not manufactured anymore.

3). 80GB - extended memory, but reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games, it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU). Around 60-70% of PS2 games can be played. Available only in NTSC regions.

4). 40GB - can't play PS2 games at all (all PS2 chips were removed), has 2 USBs instead of 4, no memory card reader, has wi-fi. Avalable in black and white colors. White is on sale only in Japan. Uses 65nm technology (lower power consumption). Improved cooling system. It's the latest version. 40GB doesn't support SACD (Super Audio Compact Disc).

5). PAL 60GB - reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games. it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU). Around 60-70% of PS2 games can be played.

Wi-fi included in all models, except 20GB.

They are all based on Blu-ray. They all play PS1 games.

Yes but only if it is The 20,60 and 80 gigabyte editions of Ps3. the 60 gb plays all of the ps2 and ps1 games. While the 80 gb can only play some (not for long in a future update these systems will be just as good as the 60 gb's emulation software for ps2 and ps1) ps2 and ps1 games. The 40 gb can only play ps3 games but not ps2 games or ps1.
