| I'm getting a PS3 soon, and I want to buy some old ps1 games (used) and play them on my PS3, because I don't have a ps1 anymore. My question is: is that possible? |

| Every PS3 plays PS1 games but only the original 60GB model plays PS2 games. |

| Ok. Thanks  . I don't need to play PS2 games, because I still have one, so that doesn't matter. |

Yes. The original 60gb model does, too. |

| New question:
Do you need a PS1 memory card to play PS1 games on a PS3? I know you need one to play PS1 games on a PS2. |

| The memory cards are internal and you can create as many as you want so no, you don't need to get any. |

| I have an 80GB fat PS3 and it can play both PS1 and PS2 discs if that helps. My buddy has the 120GB slim PS3 and it can't play PS2 games. |

All of the older (phat) models played PS2 games, I think. None of the newer (slim) ones do. |
