YES! The Blu-ray Disc player also plays: DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R, CD-ROM, CD-RW... On 24th of May, the PlayStation 3 free system software update - Version 1.8 - enabled upscaling of standard DVDs to 1080p resolution. "The update uses smart software to stretch, enhance & enlarge, producing a virtual High Definition image."

Yes, you can play the DVD's that you already own on the PS3. Even though the PS3 is Blu-Ray, it also plays regular DVD's and CD's.
Also the PS3 upscales regular DVD's.

This question is an often one, so that's my cut & paste answer: 1). 20GB has no chrome trim, no memory card reader and no wi-fi. Not manufactured anymore. Has the best backwards compatibility with PS2 games due to Emotion Engine (PS2's CPU) and Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU) installed. 2). NTSC 60GB has the same backwards compatibility as 20GB version, also has memory card reader and wi-fi. Has a chrome trim. 3). 80GB - extended memory, but reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games, it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU). Around 80% of PS2 games can be played. Available only in NTSC regions. 4). 40GB - can't play PS2 games at all (all PS2 chips were removed), has 2 USBs instead of 4, no memory card reader, has wi-fi. SACD isn't supported. Avalable in black and white colors. White is on sale only in Japan. Uses 65nm technology (lower power consumption). Improved cooling system. It's the latest version. 5). PAL 60GB - reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games. it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU). Around 80% of PS2 games can be played. Wi-fi included in all models, except 20GB. Apart from that, they are all the same, play Blu-ray and regular movies, music.

Yes, you can. The PS3 also upscales it to 1080p resolution. Which means it will look even better than it did before.
Awesome right? Hopefully you have an HDTV and HDMI or component cables.
