Cannot play PS2 games on present 2009 PS3 consoles

I wrote in to Sony to ask if I could play some PS2 games on present PS3 consoles.
There are just too many contradicting views online and the best way to know is through the official horse's mouth.

This is the response I got.

And I so wanted to play God of War 2 which is only available in PS2.
