No, this PS3 cannot play PS2 games. The PS3 model that allows PS2 back-play essentially has a PS2 inside that allows the back-ward compatibility, making that model MUCH heavier. PSone playback however is possible. Of course, PS2 games that have been brought into the PSN for digital download for the PS3 can play on here.

Yes you can, by using the HDMI to mini HDMI cable that comes with the Camera and using the remote, or you can move to a EHDD and play with a PS3 using Play Memories...

Yes. The PS3 plays PS3 Blu-Ray games, DVDs, PS1 Games, Blu-Ray movies, and CDs.

It is made for the original Xbox, and Xbox One is not backwards compatible. Not sure which system your "1" is referring to.

You will not be able to play PS2 games in this PS3. Sony only made one PS3 that could play PS2 games and that was the big fat 60GB model. After that one, no PS3 can play PS2 games.

Yes, but it only comes with one program to play them. So, if it is not in the right format, you are out of luck. This is a horrible computer! It has a lot of problems!

Hello Aaron, swap disk did not work for me to play Japanese PS1 games on a PS2. However a cheat disk that's designed for PS1 can work on a PS2 to play Japanese PS1. For example, I use a Action Replay disk, has a blue back, can run in a PS2 (make sure your PS2 is modified, check on youtube on how to do this) then check that your AR disk will play PS1 games.(The one I use says disk 2, bonus disk PS1 codes) After the disk stops spinning,highlight the start game option (but do not start yet) then remove and put in your PS1 Japanese disk , then x to start. Hope this helps. Also to note, I'm using a PS2 slim. Works just fine for me. Happy Gaming! Hello Aaron, swap disk did not work for me to play Japanese PS1 games on a PS2.

No. Only the very first PS3s sold had that feature. All systems now can only play PS3 disks however the Sony online store allows you to purchase and download many PS1 and PS2 games to your PS3 and okay them that way. But you may be purchasing games you already own disk versions of (unfortunately).

The best that I can say is ask online, all I can tell you personally is the early models are backwards compatible but not for all ps1 games, I don't know about the slimmer console or make the trip to a gaming store and ask.
