The reason most PS3 can't play PS2 games is it requires some of PS2 hardware. More hardware in small space equals more heat. Heat was the cause of 360 RRoD.

the ps3's Cell processor contains the complete ISA of the ps2, there just is no implementation for the software for PS2 emulation ON THE Cell processor YET!, that's the Key word YET. and the way the PS2 is still selling Sony is not in any hurry to do that yet.

PlayStation 3s without PS2 backwards compatibility are missing the Emotion Engine, a chip Sony designed as the PS2’s CPU. What if the PS3’s cell processor could emulate the Emotion Engine? Theoretically, all PlayStation 3s would be able to play PS2 games even if a console didn’t have the proper hardware. According to a recent patent filed by Sony ComputerEntertainment in the US, Sony has the code and technology ready to do this.
