Depends on the model.  40GB - NO PS2 games work, 60GB - 95+ percent work (maybe more), 80 GB - I have heard 85% work.

My ps3 plays ps2 games.

The only SKU that doesn't play PS2 games is the 40gb (only exists in Europe for now).

just to let you know the euro 60gb is 85% like U.S. 80gb which doesn't really matter since my euro 60gb plays most ps2 games that i wanted to replay on the ps3

Well, certain PS3 do play older generation.

40 GiG does not, 60 GiG does and 80 GiG does as well.

I'd suggest 60 GB if you wish to play PS/PS2 titles as it has an EE chip build in to support almost every game.

If you can't find it, 80 GiG will play a lot of PS2 games but not as many as 60 GiG since it doesn't have EE chip.

Hope that helps.

Yes, its a first party game,all first party games work on the 80gb model and so do all the third party games that really matter FF, MGS etc

I asked because I was at playstation.com Compatibility status and saw some problems with GT4.

Thank you.

I have the 60gb model. It has played PS2 and PS1 games just fine since I got my PS3. I can't speak for the other PS3 models (20gb, 40gb, and 80gb). I really don't know about them.

I just got a PS3 80GB in USA 11-10-07 and Gran Turismo 4 (GT4) for PS2 is NOT recognized, and does NOT play at all. It didn't play on the older system software, and I tried to upgrade the software (2.0) in hopes it would work, but it did not work at all.

Anybody know where I can get a PS3 60GB ?
