My damn sister she sold my PS2. Which PS3 could support PS2 & PS1 games?

Question

Hi I want to buy PS3. I do know there are 3 different types of PS3. Once is 40gb.60gb & 80gb. Which PS3 could support & you could play your old PS2 games & one? Thank you!

Answer 1

Why did your sister sell your PS2...the slim line is just too portable to sell...
But the $499.00 80 gig is backwards compatable...I don't think it is 100% though.

Sorry, but I disagree...they are all not backwards compatible/// the 399.00 40 gb model is not

Answer 2

THe 60GB PS3 gives the best support for PS2 & PS1 games but the 80GB PS3 plays em too but you may find some that dont work and the 40GB PS3 doesnt play PS2 games at all but it does play PS1 games.

Answer 3

60gb is your best bet. It has the emotion engine built in, so it basically has a PS2 inside. They are no longer making this version, however, so you might not be able to find one.

The 80gb will serve this purpose as well. It uses software emulation rather than hardware, but it plays most PS2 games.

Stay away from the 40gb. It will not play PS2 games at all (all PS3's play PS1 games).

Answer 4

All PS3 versions will play PSX games, but only the 20, 60, and 80 gb version can play PS2 games. If you can, get the 60 gb because it has the emotion engine, which means it has better backward compatibility than the 80 gb, which uses software emulation.

Welcome to the club. Sister did the same thing with my Genesis because she needed money. The agony of losing a system that wasn't even your fault. I feel your pain.

Answer 5

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. 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.

Any one of them will work. The GB is just memory. They all are backwards compatible.
