    i think the orignal 60gb model did but to reduce the price of the ps3 they have removed the hardware that enables it to do it. i could be wrong though.

    Yes this is true:

    Launch models (60GB with 4 USB 2.0 ports, card readers and chrome trim) support PlayStation 2 format titles and SACD's.
    40GB, 80GB & 160GB models do not support PlayStation 2 format titles and SACD's, but do support PSone titles.
    *20GB models were only released in North America and Japan and lack Wi-Fi connections along with the other specs listed on launch 60GB models. PS1/PS2 software is not region free.

    Other than that there is no real difference between the various PlayStation 3 models apart from HDD size and internal industrial specification such as CPU NM spec and power values.

    EU PS3's were software emulation, only US and Jap consoles had PS2 hardware, but yeah, only 60GB EU models have backwards compatibility
