THe difference is that in the U.S the 60 gig uses hardware for backward capability to play all 2400 ps2 and ps1 games. THe 60gig and 80gig also has 4 usb, Mstick slot, Sd slot and compact flash media slot. THe 40 gig does not play ps2 games at all. and doesn't have the other media slots and only has 2 usb ports. Get the60gig if you can . In case you want to buy some ps2 games.

1). 20GB - Very good backwards compatibility with PS2 games (due to built-in PS2 CPU (Emotion Engine) and PS2 GPU (Graphics Synthesizer), but this version lacks wi-fi and card reader. It has no chrome trim.
2). 60GB - Very good backwards compatibility (same as 20GB), it has w-fi and card reader.
3). 80GB - Backwards compatibility with PS2 games reduced (it has no Emotion Engine, but it has GS chip only, CPU is emu;lated on software), it has wi-fi and card reader.
4). 40GB - has no backwards compatibility at all (last PS2 chip has been removed), has wi-fi, but no card reader, has 2 USBs (other versions have 4)
PAL regions have only 60GB and 40GB versions. 60GB has the same backwards compatibility as US 80GB version.
