Yes, the 80GB PS3 can play PS2 games, but only if it's the older model with four USB ports and hardware-based backward compatibility. Newer models of the 80GB PS3 don't support this feature.

I have an older 80GB PS3 and it plays PS2 games like a champ! Just make sure you have that specific model.

Most 80GB PS3s can't play PS2 games. You need to check if it has hardware backward compatibility.

Nope, unless it's the very early version with hardware emulation. Check for four USB ports!
