1). 20GB has no chrome trim, no memory card reader and no wi-fi. Not manufactured anymore. Has the best backwards compatibility with PS2 games due to Emotion Engine (PS2's CPU) and Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU) installed.
2). NTSC 60GB has the same backwards compatibility as 20GB versio, also has memory card reader and wi-fi. Has a chrome trim.
3). 80GB - extended memory, but reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games, it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU). Around 80% of PS2 games can be played. Available only in NTSC regions.
4). 40GB - can't play PS2 games at all (all PS2 chips were removed), has 2 USBs instead of 4, no memory card reader, has wi-fi. Avalable in black and white colors. White is on sale only in Japan. Uses 65nm technology (lower power consumption). Improved cooling system.
5). PAL 60GB - reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games. it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU). Around 80% of PS2 games can be played.

The 80GB PS3 is not overpriced. Sony isn't even making any money on the PS3 consoles that they sell and the 80GB PS3 had a $100 dollar price cut to $499 and that's a big savings.
Although the 60GB PS3 was discontinued, some can be bought online, but they are the same price as the 80GB PS3 and on some sites, the 60GB PS3 costs even a little bit more than the 80GB PS3.
I think that you should just go with the 80GB PS3 right now, or just wait until the 80GB PS3's price drops even more,but there's no telling when that will happen.

Go with a 60 gig from ebay or something.

60 gig. It's the best buy.

The PS3 is amazing, you should get one, i have the old 60GB one, and I have only used about 25GB's. And I have most of the downloadable demos. You should stick with the 40GB, because no one is crazy enough to use 80 GB's. Hope this helped.

Which one should you get? How about neither one. Go buy yourself an Xbox 360 instead.
