I have a uk 40gb ps3 without backwards compatability, but have heard that all ps3's can play ps1 games. Is this just games downloaded from the psn store, or ps1 discs too? Want to get the old Resi Evil games before number 5 comes out and refresh my memory on the storylines!!

They play the discs too but they are region locked. Like if you have a pal ps3 you can only play pal ps1 discs. Some discs I also heard have had errors playing but I think that number is pretty low.

Yes, all of them play PS1 games but they are indeed region locked.

they can play ps1 games, i played medievil 2 on my ps3 but it kept freezing and skipping so there might be a few problems.
