Ps3 just bought sony ps3. wont read ps1 or ps2.

they should all be able to play ps2 and ps1 games.

I have read that some manufacture PS1 memory cards will not work properly on the PS2. I would suggest trying another PS2 to see if it's a problem with your specific PS2. If the memory card doesn't pop up on the browser screen of another PS2, it could be defective or incompatible. If it does work on another PS2, it could be something weird going on with your memory card slot on your PS2.

It depends on your system the 40g will play ps1, but not ps2. The 60g or above will play both.

Playstation 3s cannot read Playstation 2 games, only Playstation 1. I know, it sucks. Hope I helped!

heythat does'nt work because only PS3's can play games from lower versions of the play station

your blueray lens
the ps3 has 2 different lenses in the disk drive 1 is blueray and the other is just a basic dvd cd lens<
your blueray lens will have burned out if your still under warranty you should be fine to call sony and request a free repair if your not under warranty it will cost around £120

hope this helps

This is the number one problem PS3 owners encounter. It's a Sony defect. The blu-ray drive is a three part laser ( cd / dvd / blu-ray). The blu-ray portion always goes out. That's why you're still able to play a few of your DVD PS1 and PS2 games.

could be laser problem. redlight mode laser controls ps2/dvd/cd reading. does it read bluray games?

40 gig that i understand cant ply ps2 games only 60-80 can.

Ps3 supports over 1000 ps1 and ps2 titles. Make sure you hook your ps3 up to the internet and download the latest firmware updates. Odds are your system will be able to play all or most of your ps2 games once you update the ps3 online.
