I was informed by the stores that PS1 and PS2 can only be played on PS3 80GB. There is about a $200 difference in the 80GB and 20GB and want to know if this is true or not?

[Adam Willis]

Yes. There may be a game or two that doesn't but for the most part all the Playstation 3's are reverse compatible.

[hellycool]

Not generally no, though there are a few that work.

[Red Sox Fan]

Yes, all PS3's play PS1 and PS2 games except for the 40GB that doesn't play the PS2 games but plays PS1 games.

[D.R.E.]

Yes the 20GB PS3 can play PS2 games just fine.

[legendfang]

the only PS3's that can not play PS1 and 2 games are the new 40 gig PS3. there are going to be some games that you can't play on the 20,60,and 80 gig models but thats the same with the PS2 some PS1 game can't be played on it.

[bootis32]

yes, the 20gb ps3 can play at least 98% of ps1 and ps2 games, because they are using hardware instead of software.

the 80gb is like the 60gb except that the 80gb ps3 are using software emulation rather than an emotion engine.

[Confessional]

No it isn't.

[Shadowfyre]

You can play all PS2 games on the 20GB and 60GB PS3.

The 80GB PS3 can play most PS2 games

and the 40GB PS3 can NOT play PS2 games.

[i8rice]

yes, they can be played unless u have a japanese version ps3

[wateva83]

wonder why a 20gb PS3 can play PS2 but a 40gb one can't...
