Does it play PS2 games?

Yes, this model DOES play both Ps2 and Ps games in addition to the obvious Ps3 games. Does NOT play or cross-play Ps4 game servers since it is NOT a Ps4. There are, however, Ps4 games that are made with an alternative Ps3 version that plays on the Ps3.

Yes, it plays PS1 and PS2 games. It has a built-in data/game utility setting that saves data from other playstation consoles.

the one i received from Amazons Warehouse deals was not backward compatible. the serial number on the console should be "CECHE01", mine is CECHL01

all ps3s play ps one games (physical disks). only certain "original fat" ps3 models also play ps2 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 one, and currently have my PS2 connected to a 17" LCD Monitor. It works well enough, but there's a slight degrade in video quality. Wait for a meritline deal on this item, I got it for around $22.

You can play PS1 games on PS2 slim. It just has to be the correct region. For example PAL games will not work on NTSC systems. only NTSC games would work on NTSC SYSTEMS.

can it play ps2 games? I noticed there's ps2 system update on play station store online,so it does?

Yes, it does. There is a switch on the back of the unit that throws it into PS3 mode. Google to find the key mappings for the PS3 triangle, square, etc and reviews.

Yes I believe it does. My son is able to hookup and play his Sony Playstation on the unit.

Yes you can. The only thing is ps2 has to be modded and you must habe magic swap. Othewise ps2 will not play burnt game.

No, It doesn't. I use both PS3 and PS4, both systems play as if they are plugged directly into TV.

Yes, it will play gamecube games. It will play anything the original drive would.

Yes ma'am. I had no problem playing any of my couple dozen PS1 games on this version of the PS2. However, you will need PS1 memory cards, not PS2 memory cards, to save your PS1 game.

I've done Xbox, PS2 and Wii. Hardly had one that wouldn't play.All I use mine for now is games.

The ones we bought were bought used a few years ago and all cables required to play were included. The PS2 system is no longer made and good quality used units are harder to find now. Good luck!

My son says yes, he is playing a PlayStation 2 game even as I type. Hope this was helpful.

No, this is the slim version and does not run PS2 games. The first model of the PS3 will run PS2 games.
