Can you play ps1 games on a 40gb ps3?

Question

for the longest time i thought the 40gb couldn't play both ps1 and 2 games. but then i heard someone say that it can play ps1 games, is taht true?

Answer 1

Yes, PS1 games can be played on all models. It's just PS2 games can't be played on the 40GB.

Answer 2

All PS3 versions (including 40GB) play PS1 games.

Answer 3

Actually, yes. If you have one and you've run out of good games you want to play on the ps3 than you are in luck. The PS1 had a lot of good games in it's day and it opens up a ton of new options for 40GB ps3 users. I like a lot of the PS1 games like the first two Gran Turismos, Metal Gear Solid, and a bunch of other titles. It's too bad that the 40GB can't play any PS2 games but the PS1 games are just as good but with worse graphics. Be very happy!

Answer 4

YES but not the ps2

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7
