Simply that really. And if yes, do the films have to be originals, or will copies play as well?

No, only a PS3 is capable of playing Blue Ray disk.

Nope

The PS2 doesn't contain the software to play Blu Ray.

No you can only play DVD films on a ps2. Ps2's were only made to read dvd formats only. not hd-dvd but dvd.

I can't believe this question is being asked.

No. The PS2 was built before Blu-Ray, of course you can't.

No you can't ! In order to watch movies in the blu-ray format, you need a blu-ray high definition dvd player or a PS3 ! The PS2 does not have a blu-ray dvd drive ! The PS2 has a regular dvd drive thus you can only watch regular non-high definition dvd movies !

YES they can believe it or not! Blockbuster online accidently sent me a bluray disc and shockingly my PS2 (bought 2 years ago) played it perfectly. I was amazed at the picture and sound quality!!!!

Josh - You must be soooo smart, or so incredibly ignorant to realize that sometimes technology is built to be backwards-compatable. The question is not un-believable at all.. it's valid. Next time, maybe you could be a little more humble AND helpful.

I played a Blu-Ray Disk on my PS2. Yes it can. It plays lower quality, but it still plays Blu-Ray. Everyone else in this thread is FAIL.

I didn't see some of the later replies that said yes you can... Sorry to those people, you're not fail.
