The Playstation 3 actually includes PS2's CPU and GPU in it to support backward compatabilty with PS2 games.

Reports, however, indicate that not all games work flawlessly and there are problems with some games. There is no official list yet (not in English, at least) but there is a good article on IGN discussing this.

Yep, I have a Plyastation 3 and I play some of the fun games I played on PS2.  I just put the disk in my system, and it plays perfectly!
