The PlayStation 3 console has several models, not all of which are backward compatible with games on the PlayStation 2 (PS2) and PlayStation 1 (PS1). However, the initial models of the PS3 console, known as "PS3 Fat" (CECHAxx, CECHBxx, CECHExx), were equipped with a dedicated emulation chip that allowed for the playback of most PS2 and PS1 games. These models had support for backward compatibility with games on previous console generations. Subsequently, Sony introduced the PS3 Slim and PS3 Super Slim models, which did not have the PS2 and PS1 emulation chip. As a result, these models are not backward compatible with games on the PS2 and PS1. In summary, if you are looking for a PS3 console that plays games on the PS2 and PS1, you should look for older PS3 Fat models (CECHAxx, CECHBxx, CECHExx). However, considering that this information is based on my knowledge up to September 2021, it is always worth checking information about specific models before making a purchase.

"All models of the PS3 console can play PS1 games, but only select models have the option to play PS2 games. These are: CECHCxx (60GB model), CECHExx (80GB model), CECHExx (20GB model), and CECHGxx (40GB model). If you plan to buy a PS3 console for playing games from previous generations, it is worth making sure that the model you choose has this feature."

A unique version of the PS3 FAT(/Classic) console with a designation. Unlike popular models, it has the function of playing games from both PS2 and PS1 consoles.

On PlayStation 3, there are two models that are backwards compatible and can play games from previous generations of PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 1 consoles. They are:

1. First model (CECHAxx or CECHExx): This model had fully integrated PlayStation 2 components, allowing it to play both PS2 and PS1 game discs. Usually this model also has a PlayStation 2 memory card slot.

2. The second model (CECH-20xx, CECH-21xx): This model introduced the backward compatibility feature through hardware emulation, which means PS2 and PS1 games were played using software-level emulation. This model also played PS2 and PS1 game discs.

It is worth noting, however, that not all PlayStation 3 models had backwards compatibility. Later models such as the Slim (CECH-25xx, CECH-30xx) and Super Slim (CECH-40xx, CECH-43xx) did not have this feature and were unable to play PS2 or PS1 game discs.

Before buying a PlayStation 3 console, it is worth checking the model and making sure that it has backward compatibility with PS2 and PS1 games.
