You have to cut a hole in the top of your once sexy PS3. I'm doubting you'd want to do that.

It is possible to play them using the "Swap Switch", as described in THIS THREAD.
However it does still involve opening up your PS3 and soldering etc...personally i'd rather just plug my PS2 back in if i wanted to play PS2 games!

why would you want to do any of that to your ps3 when ps2's are cheap these days?

no, not free. you lose your PS3's warranty, not to mention the costs of the equipment needed for the swap switch.
