Good luck trying to find them nowadays . its tough

Easy trick, all PS2 backwards compatible models have 4 USB ports. All PS3 models, FAT, Slim and Super Slim are all backwards compatible with PS1 games.

FYI the BC models are extremely unreliable so be careful,

Also only the CECH-A AND CECH-B models have Hardware backwards compatibility the others are all emulated

Omg, I didn't know how to check if my ps3 was compatible. Thanks for this vid! Going to buy some ps2 games I love

The Spider-Man font, 4 usb port, metallic looking, And giant one

I still have a working backwards-compatible PS3 system so far which is the 60 GB model and I also really wish Sony would have still kept the PS2 backwards compatibility on all of the later models as well.

I had the 2nd model PS3 when i was like 12 or 13 in 2011 or 12. Was disappointed to learn that the model 2 does not play PS2 games 😢 and i still had my game collection after my console got flodded 😮

I repaired my original 60GB model when it broke and was devastated when it died for a second time.

Getting rid of the backwards compatibility on the PS3 was a complete misfire by Sony in my opinion.

I like these ps facts. You should make a playlist for each console

[annmarancik]

Another way to tell is if there are four usb ports for the controller

[SparkMasterV]

They should make a PS5 model that plays all 5 generations of games 😂 that’d be cool

Something to know these original model PlayStation threes suffer from an issue called the yellow light of death. It is caused from a bad RSX chip, which is the GPU and the solution is to replace it with a more reliable 40nm chip in a mod called the Frankenstein mod, but you have to do some modifications to the PlayStation to accept the new chip as without those new modifications the console will not start

I have one collecting dust at my parents house. I fixed the optical drive for $50 and got the system itself for free

[TheNenad]

They are also recognisable of having 4 USB ports under at left side and model named CECHC04.

Wow thanks for telling me about the 2nd one, I thought for a moment without the flap ps3 version is the only way its backwards compatible.

[MultiHalolord]

What they don't tell you is that the first ps2 backwards compatible ps3 is fully backwards compatible for ps2 games while as the other one was more of a half ass attempt at backwards compatibility and both backwards compatible Phat Ps3 were prone to a plethora of issues so if you do find one your best bet is to pay to get it modded professionally and or figure out how to do it yourself so as to avoid them overheating and burning up the backwards compatibility chips that are inside of the consoles. 🙂

Well dang. Google got my hopes up, until you mentioned a certain model of which I don’t own. ( I have the slidable eject version where you slide open the top to put the game inside. )

I have two of the OG original PS3 sitting in their boxes with one of them with the PT (Silent Hill concept demo game) installed on it. They are literally just collecting dust as I've become a Master Race PC gamer.

My friend has the backwards compatible version, it used to cost $900 in my country 1 month later it cost the same as a normal fat ps3

[notmanatee]

Thanks! Im finding one thats in good working condition and can play all consoles and blu rays!
