I've played the Halo games and Fable on my 360 because I never had an original Xbox, but these were THE games to play, so I bought them. That is the thing that the 360 had over the PS3 is that they never stopped making 360 units that could handle backwards compatibility.
Why do X360 fanbois resort to lying constantly? Honestly.
The PS3 software emulator (which is the 'new' thing on the smaller units) does indeed work, and works better than the one for the X360 (which was notorious for its entire lifespan of not actually running most XBox games).
As a practical matter, if your really just wanting to play PS2 games, then just go get a PS2 (it's under $100 now, and still widely sold, and remains the #1 console at the moment). But I've yet to hear of a reputable PS3 owner (as in, someone not an X360 fanboi claiming to have a PS3 that won't play DVDs, play PS2 games, but does spontaneously erupt into a vortex of demons which kill puppies) having issues with backwards compatibility.
