See the table here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3#Models

I've got the 40Gb 3rd Generation one and it definately doesn't do PS2 games
Some PS2 games could be simulated on the PC via software so it shouldn't be to hard to do for Sony. If I remember rightly they filed a Patent not to long ago that was linked to the possibility but not sure how true that is. Tbh I dont see it making that much of a diffrence even if they do include it. I dont think it will drive sales like people are claiming.

Plus they were meant to be launching PS2 classic's on the PSN store eventually right ? Am sure they said something about this a good while back or did they abandon this ?. Would be a bit usless if most of the install base could not play them.
