Sony stated every PlayStation and PlayStation 2 game that observes its respective system’s TRC (Technical Requirements Checklist) will be playable on PS3 at launch. SCE president Ken Kutaragi asked developers to adhere to the TRC to facilitate compatibility with future PlayStations, stating that the company was having some difficulty getting backward compatibility with games that had not followed the TRCs. It has been confirmed (image) that initial PS3 units include the CPU/rasterizer combination chip used in slim PS2 (EE+GS) to achieve backward compatibility.[48]
The PlayStation 3 does not include interfaces for legacy PlayStation devices, though IGN.com tested a legacy controller using a PS2-to-USB adapter, finding that it is compatible, though most other devices (such as the Guitar Hero controller) may not be compatible.[49] USB devices for PlayStation 2 may be compatible with PlayStation 3. The PS3 supports both the USB Eye Toy camera/webcam and SOCOM Headset for video and voice chat. A memory card adapter is available so users can save their PS/PS2 data on to a virtual memory card in the hard drive.[50] The PlayStation 3 can also use Memory Sticks to store save data for PlayStation and PlayStation 2 software.[51]
At least 3% of the games from the previous generations of the PlayStation had problems at launch such as dropped audio[52], freezes or controller malfunction[53]. Popular games reported to have this glitch include Final Fantasy, Tekken 5, and Gran Turismo. As of 2006-11-16, a firmware upgrade has been posted online by Sony that is intended to address some of these issues.[54]

there are some games that can’t be played at ps2, but the officials said they would work something out
reason why ps is better than xbox…xbox lost with backwards incompatability

Are you that lazy that you can’t do a search for this answer? Instead of wasting 5 points, our time, and getting called a lot of names, you could have done a search and gotten the answer. This stupid question has been asked a million times.
But since you’re so lazy, I’ll give you the answer.
Yes and No. Yes, it can play most PSX/PS2 games. No, it can’t play ALL PSX/PS2 games. There are about 200 games that can’t be played on the PS3 at all. And then there are about 8000 PSX/PS2 games that doesn’t work properly on the PS3 (things like audio problems). Sony had/will release a firmware update to fix this problem.
maybe you can upgrade them suitable for PS3 system at gaming stores if u have credits.
yes, just like ps2 can play old playstation games
