Are PS2 games compatible with the PS3?

Question

I want to buy Ejay clubworld for my bf, but as far as I can see it's only available for the PS2 at the moment and he has a PS3. (I don't want to ask him as it's a surprise present).

Answer 1

Some games are and some are not, I have the 60GB version too and I found that some of my PS2 games did not work on it, if you want a complete full list, you may want to try this link;

As far as I can see, the game you are asking about is perfectly compatible.

Answer 2

It depends what ps3 you have. If you have the 60g type yes, if the b 40g type then no. As for the 20 and 80 g types im not sue. Check on sony ps3 site.

Answer 3

It's totally compatible. I checked it for US 60GB here:

Answer 4

yes they are!!! lol

Answer 5

yes every single game for 60gb

Answer 6

Yes, only with the 60gb, and the 80gb.

BTW the 60gb has the best compatibility, as it has the emotion engine and can play all ps2 games, while the 80gb uses an emulator, which can play only certain ps2 games.

Answer 7

Answer 11
