How to play PS2 Games in PS3?

  • I am fairly new to the PS3 world. I am must more used to xBox 360(Even though its not my favourite system ever..) and the PS2. Now, I know for the xBox 360 in order to play original xBox games, you need an original xBox hard drive. For PS3, I know some older versions let you play some PS2 games, but my since my version is newer, it will not allow me. When I put the game it, it tells me that PS2 is not supported with this version. So, is there something like the xBox, where you can buy a hard drive or some other accessory that allows you to play PS2 games? 10 points to best answer :)

  • Answer:

    I don't think you can play PS2 games on the PS3. Try looking in the Playstation store. :)

Only the 20 GB and 60 BG "Fat" PS3 were backwards compatible. Good luck finding one. Thats the only way to play PS2 games on a PS3. Unless, you buy a PS2 classic on the PSN Store.

It has to be backwards compatible. Not sure how to explain it. Google "backwards compatible ps3" Edit: I have seen 160gb slim models that are backwards compatible but highly expensive.

As the others have said, only older Fat models with 4 USB ports -- specifically 20, 60, and some 80 GB models -- are PS2 backwards compatible. There is absolutely no way to force a PS3 to become PS2 compatible. However, Sony has been releasing PS2 Classics in the PSN store to download and play on any PS3.
