the 20 40 and new 80 gb does not play ps2 games and also the new 160 gb will not play ps2 games new 160 gb will be out in november

Answer 4

Depends on which model you get.

The 20, 60, and the ORIGINAL 80GB can play PS2 games.

The 20 and 60GB have the PS2 GPU and CPU. These 2 models are best with backwards compatibility.

The ORIGINAL 80GB plays some PS2 games. It has the PS2 GPU, but uses software to emulate the CPU. Some PS2 games do not work properly on the original 80GB. You can check here for compatibility.

The 40GB and the 80GB Core that just came out is not compatible with PS2 games.
