[QUOTE="mlingmling, post: 1514062, member: 597540"] Most people are clueless when it comes to backwards compatability questions. They only think there is only one PS3--the one that they have, but just ignore the people that say "yes, the 80GB plays PS2 games" or "No, the only one that plays PS2 games is the 60GB. I don't blame the consumers, either. I think it is Sony's fault for making so many PS3 models (20,60,80,40,80 again, 160) that it can be confusing. Anyways here's the answer you're looking for: The only models that play PS2 games are: 20GB-Discontinued, all PS2 games $500 60GB-Discontinued, all PS2 games $600, later $550 Old 80GB-Discontinued, 80% of PS2 games $500 The following DO NOT: 40GB-Discontinued $400 New 80GB-in stores $400 160GB-in stores $500 All PS3's play PSone games. An easy way to tell if a PS3 will play PS2 games 4USB ports=YES 2USB ports=NO The reason is that the cost of putting the PS2 chip/CPU and the PS2 graphics card in the PS3 was VERY expensive, and as the PS2 only has about a year left (before it is discontinued), Sony saw no reason to lose even more money than they already are losing on the PS3, and hence there is no backwards compatibility on PS3's today.
