Can I play PS2 games

I have a 250GB PS3 Slim and I downloaded the PS2 system data from the Playstation store and I was just wondering if I was going to encounter any problems if I put in a PS2 disc

Re: Can I play PS2 games

The only problem you're going to encounter is that the PS2 disc won't work chief, BC was removed from the PS3 ages ago.

 

There are remastered PS2 games available.

No you can't play Ps2 games disc's in a Slim Ps3.

Sony are stabbing their loyal family customers in the back - We have 3 PS3s and 3 PSPs all on the same IP address and all registered with Sony. Why can't we use them at the same time anymore?

Thier was something on the US store for those who Had a PS2 HDD for games like Resident Evil Outbreaks File 1 and 2.

 

That download aloud the US BWC PS3 to use part of the HDD as a PS2 HDD for those games that needed it.

 

The HDD support was removed from those games for Europe as we did not get the HDD.

It is/was on the US store I think and featured extra PS2 support or some such for the BC machines.
