      1. @strawberryspice They used to. You have to have a certain hard drive in it to play PS2/PS1 games.

      2. @strawberryspice The first run of PS3's were backwards compatible. The new ones aren't, sadly.

        1. @loak What sucks is that my brother decided to sell our PS2 without permission, and now I can't play ANY of my games anymore :C

      4. @strawberryspice my brother said that the first released ones were, but I think he just had someone mod it to death for him. I've used it before and the interface is kinda clunky feeling compared to ye olde regular ps3

      5. @strawberryspice The very first model of PS3 was fully backwards-compatible (could play PS2 and PS1 games). Later, they removed the PS2 hardware due to cost and tried having the backwards compatibility via emulation, but it wasn't 100% so rather than deal with attempting to support it they dropped it entirely with models after that. All PS3s are compatible with PS1 games. I have one of the first models with full backwards compatibility myself ^_^ !vgp
