Just the early PS3 models are PS2 compatible. The 20GB and 60GB versions, to be exact. Be sure to double-check those serial numbers!

My 60GB PS3 still plays PS2 games perfectly, but remember, not all PS3s do this!

Backward compatibility? Only the 20GB and 60GB launch models of the PS3 can do that magic trick!

The 60GB PS3, hands down, is what you want for PS2 backward compatibility.
