Only the early 20GB and 60GB models (CECHCxx, CECHAxx) are backwards compatible with PS2 games. Later models dropped this feature.

The original 20GB and 60GB models from the launch era of the PS3 have backward compatibility with PS2 games. Be sure to check the model numbers (CECHCxx, CECHAxx) to verify!

The 80GB model (CECHExx) also had limited backward compatibility with PS2 titles, but it used software emulation, which wasn't 100% perfect.

If you want PS2 backward compatibility, look for an early 20GB or 60GB PS3 (CECHAxx or CECHCxx). They're your best bet!
