Nowadays the only kind of Playstation 3 you can get from Best Buy or Wal Mart, etc. are the 40 GB ones.
I was wondering are they backwards compatible with PS 1 and PS 2? Because I read somewhere that they are not…I was wondering is there a software update you can download from Sony that makes it compatible?

40GB PS3s are compatible with PS1 games, not PS2. Trust me, I know, I own one and I’ve played Final Fantasy 7 & Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 on it.
There will never be software updates that will enable the 40GB PS3s to play PS2 games because Sony took out a piece of hardware that enabled PS2 games to be played.
Forget the 2nd paragraph and read this: http://ps3.qj.net/Rumor-PS2-backwards-co…
Unfortunately, they aren’t. There’s also the 80 GB version at Walmart and Best Buy, but they too aren’t backward compatible. Sony has intended in making the PS3s cheaper. No worries…

No – Ps2 games
simple
not with ps2 games
