Playing a PS2 game on your PS3 seems relatively straight forward.
The first time you pop in a PS2 game the system tells you you need to create a small partition on your drive to act like a virtual memory card. Then it just saves progress on it as it would a regular memory card.
After that you just need to pop the game in and start it like you would a PS3, simple as that.
I've tried three or four games on the system and all have worked fine, including SingStar using the USB microphones. I haven't been able to try to do a Guitar Hero or Guitar Hero 2 work around yet because you need to get a special adapter to be able to plug your guitar, or any PS2 controller, into a PS3.
Gameplay seems pretty much unchanged. Though you're now using the PS3, rumbleless controller, to play the games. The console does give you the option of selecting digital or analog mode for the controller, which is nice. But that can't make up for how relatively cruddy the games look after playing PS3 games for the day, but that's not too surprising.
