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.

YES!
If you plan to trade in your PS2 towards a PS3, know that the 40GB version does not include backwards compatability with PS2 games. If . Also, the 40GB version also excludes memory ports and well as HDMI outputs. If any of the above offerings are important to you, it will be well worth purchasing the 60GB version.

The 40GB PS3 has no backwards compatibility because they removed the emotion engine to cut-cost. The 80GB can play PS2 Games, but not all, because it only uses an emulator. If you really want to play PS2 games, then I suggest you get the 60GB since it has the emotion engine. By the way, all PS3 consoles can play PS1 games.

You cant play Playstation 2 games on the 40GB, but you can play PS2 games on the 60GB. They both play PS1 games.
Also the 40GB has less memory and USB slots
:)
Apart from that pretty much the same thing
