How to Convert PS3 40G to Play PS2 Games

The 40GB version of Sony's PlayStation 3 video game console initially could not play all PlayStation 2 video games. These functions were enabled at a later date in the form of a firmware upgrade, which is an upgrade to the operating system that runs the console. If you want to make sure that your 40GB PlayStation 3 can play all of your favorite PlayStation 2 games, you'll need to convert the firmware that is currently running the machine to the latest version that is backward compatible with the older games.
