Do PS1 and PS2 Games Work on PS3?
Yes, but it's a bit tricky! Early models of the PS3 had hardware backward compatibility for both PS1 and PS2 games, while later models can play PS1 games but not PS2 games. Check your model for details!

Most PS3s can play PS1 games without a problem. Only the first few models of the PS3 can play PS2 games though.
PS1 games, yes. PS2 games, not so much unless you have an old, fat PS3.
If you have an original PS3 (the fat one), you should be good to go with both PS1 and PS2 games. The Slim and Super Slim models, however, only support PS1 games.
