Becuase your playing a game not for your machines region, so you have to find one which is.

it depends on where you got your PS3. The ps2 games are region encoded, obviously.

Have you updated your PS3?

cos wen i first tried playin a ps2 game on the ps3 it didn't let me play at first but if you go to the ps3 site and get the latest update they work.
