yes i think PS3 plays PS2 and PS1 games and the software is already built in.

nope! oliverporter3 is wrong if your gettin a europeon one then hes wrong ... jap or USA one hes right ... graduly u will get more and more PS2 and PS1 games working on the PS3 but only like 1000 straight away here is the website to tell you what ones work so far http://faq.eu.playstation.com/bc/

dudeja is right, here in north america and over in japan we have the NTSC format were as you guys have the NAPAL or whatever its called. Your already paying about 250$ more per PS3 in europe because you guys have a different format. So as an effort to slash prices they removed the emulator of the PS2 from the PS3. This will cause problems in some games, wether is be major or minor, but some you'll be lucky and get out fine. Also 1000 is over shooting it, I believe it's much lower. I think only 100 titles or so won't have an noticeable issues last I heard.
