I haven't tried myself, however from what I've read this version of the PS3 does not play PS1 or PS2 games.

Yes it can even play ps1 games, Thats why I bought it. It has worked great for over a year now and the only downside i see is its a bit clunky but thats what you get for having a ps3 and ps2 in one console. P.s from what I understand the 20gb 40gb and 60gb are officially reverse compatible and the 80gb and 160 gb are "sometimes" reverse compatible and are specifically mentioned if they are.

My grandson has a PS2 for PS2 games and a PS3 backwards compatible to play PS3 games and most PS2 games. I do not know about the PS1 games.

If you download them from the playstation store, then yes, i believe so. The store may not carry the games you want, however. Otherwise, i do not believe the system is backwards compatible. Therefore it cant play the disks.

The PS Vita comes built in with the ability to play PS1 games you just have to download them from the playstation store

The only way you can play ps2 games on it is if they are bought digitally from the psn. That collection is rather small though so I wouldn't count on it.

yes it does. The only PSP that it won't work is the PSP Go due to using M2 cards instead of pro duo.

No it cant play them. Only plays DS, DSi, and 3DS games. But some games have been rereleased as a game for DS. Example the classic sonic the hedgehog games got released as "sonic classics" a DS tittle. "Namco museum DS" is another good DS game, it rereleases old arcade games like "galega" and " Pac-Man".

It does, but you may be asked to update the PS3. I watched ice age 4 3D and played black ops 2 in 3D using the device.

Not sure of the NTSC-J PS1 but works for NTSC-J PS2 games. Though i would say it should. On my ps2 slim i had to block 3 sensors in order to use swap magic

Yes, that's the reason why I bought it. After buying a PS3 and not being able to play old games, I had to find another PS2.

Yes you can play ps1 games or at least most ps1 games but you will need a ps1 memory card to save the ps1 games.

I can only guess that it does as the controllers are supposedly compatible. Tell you what, I've had good luck withe Playstation help line : 1 800 345 530 . . . Good gaming!

I have a related question - does a USB headset play SOUND for ALL PS2 games or only games that support USB headsets?

Yes, it plays both play station 1-2. Play station 2 needs bigger memory cards..compared to play station 1. It kind of nice, one doesn't have to replace all their play station one games..

I'm gonna say, no it does not. Very basic menu and selection of playback. Going thru the menu I seen no options for either of the two you ask about. Although, I haven't tried to play those either. Hope this helped.
