true i could go all over the internet but i feel like talking to people is a way better source. that way i can ask questions. but what do you mean the 80GB can play most games? what can and cant it play? can i have some examples please. and why. Not "all over the internet"...Sony's official site has a compatibility search. I'm not trying to be an ass to you or anything, but this isn't hard-to-find info. www.us.playstation.com/Support/CompatibleStatusAnd as people who aren't Sony, nobody here knows why the games that work do and those that don't just don't. Just type in a game's title and see if there are any known problems with it.

Or you could find a 60GB which plays every PS2 game without any problems what so ever.

I'm gonna get the 40GB one. I'll keep my modified PS2 for the regular PS2 games, thank you. I'll take the PS3 for Blu-Ray and for PS3 games.

if you get a ps3 why not just keep your ps2? As said above you buy it to upgrade, not downgrade. That's a good point, but if you've got a ton of money into PS2 games I can understand wanting to play them on the PS3. I also think it's bullcrapon Sony's part to advertise the PS3's backwards compatibility when only one version has it, and they're going to stop making them soon.

Technically, two versions have it, since the 60 GB isn't sold out everywhere yet.

I thought the 60GB version was the only one that's backwards compatible?

I'm not worried about harddrive size, I'm just worried about which hardrives have the emulators or whatever Sony has done to make them backwards compatible.

The backwards compatibility has nothing to do with the hard drives. The 20 and 60 GB have the actual PS2 chips to handle things. The 80GB uses software to do it, and the 40GB plays PS1 games, but that's about it as far as compatibility goes.
