    I know you can play PS2 games on the 60GB model what about the 40GB and 80GB models? If not, the only PS3's that are the 20GB and 60GB right?

    There are already quite a few threads about this.
    60GB and 20GB-Emotion engine-best emulation
    80GB and 60GB Euro-Modified processor to emulate emotion engine-not as good of emulation
    40GB-no emulation

    The 80GB plays almost all PS2 games, but the 60GB and 20GB versions have the actual PS2 processor hardware in it. The 40GB is the only one that cannot play PS1 or PS2 games.

    the 40gb will never play ps2 games. it does not have the hardware to run the emulation.

    Your sig is too big. It has to be 5 lines maximum.

    I know this thread is old but I just caught a read of it through a link from another thread... The 40gb PS3 can play PS1 games but can not play PS2 games as we already know.

    I have tried some old PS1 games and they play fine straight from the disc (doesn't have to be downloaded from www.playstation.com).
