Most PS3 models can play PS1 games, but only some early models can play PS2 games. So, it really depends on which PS3 you have.
Not all PS3s can run PS2 games. Make sure you have one of the earlier models (CECHCxx or CECHExx) if that's your goal. PS1 games should work on all of them, though.
I have an old 60GB PS3, and it plays both PS2 and PS1 games just fine. Newer models, not so much for PS2 games.
Quick tip: If you want PS2 game compatibility on a PS3, go for the fat models released before 2008. Happy gaming!
