Can a Playstation 3, 60g play a PS2 games?

May be...
  • Like any type? Also if I buy one from Ebay, how would I know which one, and which one can/ cannot work with a PS2? Thanks
  • I take it I'm going to be answering this question forever too:



    backward compatibility for the PS3 with PS2 games is as follows:



    20GB (4 USB slots, no longer in production) - yes

    60GB (4 USB slots, no longer in production) - yes

    80GB with 4 USB slots (no longer in production, bundled with MGS4 or Motor Storm) - yes

    40GB (2 USB slots, no longer in production) - NO

    80GB with 2 USB slots - NO

    160GB (2 USB slots) - NO

    any other up coming PS3's - NO



    in short: if it has 4 USB slots, yes. if it has 2 USB slots, no.



    all PS3s play PS1 games.



    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation...



    the download that others may refer to is for backwards compatible PS3s ONLY!!!!!!!!!!! a download will NOT make a non-backwards compatible PS3 play PS2 games. PERIOD!



    "If a PLAYSTATION 3 is not backward compatible, you will not be able to add this function through any hardware (i.e., changing the hard disk drive) or software (i.e., updates, homebrew) upgrades or modifications. "

    that came DIRECTLY from Sony's own website: http://playstation.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/...



    if you do purchase a PS3 that is backwards compatible, not all games may work. to see if there are any compatibility issues with your console and a PS2 (or PS1) game, check this site: http://www.us.playstation.com/Support/Co...
  • yes it does, and unlike the 80 gig that uses an emulator, it contains the PS2 emotion chip so can play all ps2 games

    some require a patch that is a free add-on download from the pS Store, but most do not
  • can play ps2

    60gb, 20gb
