gta vice city on ps3?

[grove rat]

was talking about old games with some friends and i remembered how fun vice city was, is there any way to play it on the ps3? i'm pretty sure my ps3 isn't the one that can play old games

[Cooter]

some models of PS3 will play PS2 games

mine won't

[Jyard]

I wish. There's a lot of old PS2 games, including Vice City, that I would love to play on my PS3.

[grove rat]

how could i tell? is there a model number or something on the back that will let me know?

[Memo]

I think only the older 60gb models could play them. I think some of the newer ones had a built in emulator but wouldn't play all old games

[Cooter]

back when they first came out there were three different "sizes"

the smallest and largest would play PS2 games. mine was in the middle. it doesn't

WOMP

you can buy a big ps2 and the vice city game for less than $40!

i went ahead and bought a slim and the game for $45 at game stop. cool thing is the guy at game stop said you can buy an external hard drive and play games straight from it without having to use the game discs, he said he has over 200 games on his. i am thinking if i offer some cash he will copy the games for me

oh and playing vice city on a 46" lcd is pretty cool.. so far the only cheat code i have used is the health code, and even then it's just cause i didn't want my car to blow up

I'm thinking about buying another PS2, just so I can play this again. It annoys me that not all PS3's are backward compatible.

only games i really plan on playing all the way through is vice city and san andreas

Mine is the 80 gig version and it will play PS2 games. Long live ATV offroad fury 2 !!!!

I guess mine is one of the old ones that can play it... I was reading this thread thinking Vice City was a PS3 game until I went and looked at the case.... Derp!

My Xbox 360 plays the Original Xbox Vice City.
