Yes you can play PlayStation 1 games on a playstation three. All playstation 3's can. However, the 20 and 60 gigabyte versions are compatable with more games than the 40 or 80 gigabyte ones. Also if you find that your play station 1 game does not work on your PS3 look in the playstaion store. they have many PS1 games.
It depends on if you have a newer or older version of the Playstation 3. The original release could play SOME Playstation 1 and 2 games. However, the newest models cannot play your old Playstation 1 or 2 discs at all.
Yes, you can. All Playstation 3 consoles have PS1 support. You can even buy digital versions of Playstation 1 games from the Playstation Network's Store.
Yes you can! All you need to do is download the PS1 game you want to play on your PS3 from the PSN, Do note that they are not free and your old discs wont work.
Honestly you cant do that. But there are certain games that you need to have a Playstation 1 saved game and you can load it to a Playstation 3. For Example Suikoden.
You can not play Play Station 1 games on a Play Station 3. Only the Play Station 2 has the backwards compatibility to play Play Station 1 games. I suggest getting both a PS2 and PS3.
Several Playstation 3 systems are available and backwards compatability varies by the system. Depending on the system, the original Playstation games may or may not work in the Playstation 3.
The very first launch of the PS3, yes. However, if your PS3 is not the very first, then No. You can download many PS1 games from PSN for cheap, though.
