[QUOTE="JuicyLittleApple, post: 1627649, member: 630221"] ALL PS3's can play PS1 games. Period. Now it gets pretty interesting when it comes to the PS2 games. There are many types of PS3's out there, but only two types are still in stores. I will sort them by GB. -20GB: Has 4 USB slots, and can play ALL PS2 games. -40GB: Has 2 USB slots, and CAN'T play PS2 games. -60GB: Known to be the best PS3. Pretty much because it has a lot of memory, and can play ALL PS2 games, and has 4 USB slots. Now it might get kind of confusing. Sony had made 2 different 80GB PS3's. Only one of them is on stores. The old 80GB (one that is NOT on stores right now): Has 4 USB slots, and it can play PS2 games, but not all of the PS2 games, so this one is kind of hard to rely on if you want it to play all of your PS2 games. The new 80GB (one that IS on stores right now): Has 2 USB slots, and can't play PS2 games. 160GB: This one is not that great since people never find themselves needing that much memory, and it's expensive, and it can't play PS2 games. It also has 2 USB slots. It is on stores right now. So if you want a brand new PS3, you can only buy the new 80GB, and the 160GB. The others, however, you can still find on gamestop, which is a store (lol), but only used ones. You can also buy those on eBay, Amazon, and other places online. You can buy the ones that are not on stores online, and you might find them in a NEW condition, but it would be expensive. You might be thinking why the ones on stores are worse than the old ones, if new things are supposed to be better. The reason Sony took out the emulator (the thing that lets you play PS2 games) and the 2 additional USB slots, is because when the PS3's had all that, they were very expensive, and people just couldn't afford it, and Sony lost too much money. So they couldn't just drop the prices like that with leaving all that good stuff inside, so they took it out, so that it won't hurt them even more. Yes, there is an adapter. It will let you transfer save files from memory cards o the PS3. [/QUOTE]
