Researching the problems of Playstation Network I came accross the following

Playing PlayStation® and PlayStation®2 Format Software Titles on 
PlayStation®3 Hardware
The compatibility of PlayStation® and PlayStation®2 format software titles 
for use on the PlayStation®3 varies by model as follows:

Model# CECHK01 (80GB PlayStation®3 System)
This model of the PlayStation®3 system is designed to play PlayStation®3 
format software and has limited backward compatibility. This system is not 
compatible with, and will not play, PlayStation®2 format software. Some 
PlayStation® format software may play on this system.

Model# CECHG01 and CECHH01 (40GB PlayStation®3 System)
This model of the PlayStation®3 system is designed to play PlayStation®3 
format software and has limited backward compatibility. This system is not 
compatible with, and will not play, PlayStation®2 format software. Some 
PlayStation® format software may play on this system.

Model# CECHH01MG (40GB Limited Edition Gunmetal Gray PlayStation®3 system)
This model of the PlayStation®3 system is designed to play PlayStation®3 
format software and has limited backward compatibility. This system is not 
compatible with, and will not play, PlayStation®2 format software. Some 
PlayStation® format software may play on this system.

Model# CECHE01 (80GB PlayStation®3 System)
This product has limited backward compatibility with PlayStation® and 
PlayStation®2 format software. Many PlayStation®2 format software titles 
operate, but full compatibility is not guaranteed. Updating the system 
software may improve compatibility.

Model# CECHA01 (60GB PlayStation®3 System)
Some PlayStation®2 or PlayStation® format software titles may perform 
differently on this system than they do on PlayStation®2 or PlayStation® 
systems, or may not perform properly on this system.

Model# CECHB01 (20GB PlayStation®3 System)
Some PlayStation®2 or PlayStation® format software titles may perform 
differently on this system than they do on PlayStation®2 or PlayStation® 
systems, or may not perform properly on this system.

The vast number of games in the PlayStation® and PlayStation®2 software 
catalogs available in North America (including upcoming titles) are being 
verified for play compatibility with PlayStation®3. To identify the 
compatibility status of a specific title, please use our Backward 
Compatibility Status Search.

The status of titles may improve as we continually update the PS3T operating 
system software, including individual game software updates, so please be 
sure to visit this site often to check on the very latest PS3T compatibility 
status for your catalog of PlayStation® and PlayStation®2 games.
