Can PS3 play PS2 games

[BrianStephan]

This might have been asked a million times but here goes can the PS3 80G play PS2 Games or is that just a myth again dont want to test that theory incase it stuffs up my machine lol

No it can't. 'cept for Singstar. Which sux, 'cause I want to play Shadow of the Colossus.

The only PS2 games that it can play are the Singstars. And even then you need one of the Singstars for the PS3 and you also need to download a patch.

You would think by now they would have made it backwards compatible

 

[RazedInBlack]

Only the original 60GB version could.

Only the original 60GB version could.

PS3 60gb
CECHAxx models

 

[BrianStephan]

[maestro_za]

Local 80GB models ... nope.

A first generation 80GB model with CECHExx serials only. That was only for NTSC regions!

They rather now leave it up to the devs to bring popular PS2 titles to the PS3 it seems.

I hope you guys get it sorted because there are some awesome PS2 games that can still be enjoyed.
