I just got the metal gear solid essential collection from best buy and was wondering if my PS3 will play the original MGS. Does anyone know? I know my PS3 is compatible with PS2 games, but I'm not sure if it can play PS1 games.

the easiest way to answer the question you asked would have been to put disk 1 of mgs into your ps3 and see if it worked.

OMG. I had to go and find out my old account to reply to this. I am almost speachless as the idiots who sit here saying that the 40G PS3 is backwards compatible. Like, I knew that PS3 owners were generally morons, but shesh. The 40G is NOT backwards compatible. NOT.JaksReturn

Weohh.

Yes it is with PS1 games. It's not backwards compatible with PS2. You're the only moron in here.

Actually when you put in MGS1 into the PS3 it plays Formula 1 2000 instead. So thats good for you

K, I figured it's just that as I mentioned Formula 1 2000 didn't work, and I seemed to remember word going around that there was some compatibility issues despite the PS3 supposedly being fully backward compatible, for PS1 games at least. Anyway, I'll take your word for it and order a copy of MGS 1. Ahhhh the nostalgia..... :)
