Is it true the slim PS3 will run PS1 games?

Question

Hey guys, so I read a while back that the slim PS3 does not run PS2 games, however I read also that the slim models will run PS1 games... is it true? 

To me it doesn't make much sense that it would run something of much earlier tech and not something that's only slightly earlier, but if it does run PS1 games that would be awesome cos I want to play my old PS1 games :D thanks

not the disc, doesnt even run ps2 discs
have to download them from the store (price can vary)
list could be better but they do update it every couple months

It will run any PS1 games that you wish, but you do have to download the software for it off of the PSN before you can even try it. Have fun!
