PlayStation 3 60GB console is £349.99, the PlayStation 3 40GB is £299.99. With the PS3 40GB you lose the ability to play PlayStation 2 games. It also doesn't have SACD playback or the Memory Card Readers built-in to the PlayStation 3 60GB. Sony have discontinued production of the 60GB model. They issued a statement that it's due to "consumer feedback", but the fact that they make slightly more profit on the 40GB model may be the actual reason. So, the 60GB has quickly become rarer than a Nintendo Wii. If you're lucky you may find a store somewhere that hasn't sold all the 60GBs yet - otherwise the 40GB is the only option in the UK for now

This question is an often one, so that's my cut & paste answer:
1). NTSC 60GB has the same backwards compatibility as 20GB version, also has memory card reader and wi-fi. Has a chrome trim.
2). 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.
3 ). 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 main differences are that the 60gb comes with 20 extra gigs of memory (obviously), and that the 40gb version is not compatible with ps2 games while the 60gb version is 99% compatible with ps2 games.

don't waste your $$$ on the 40 gig if you have a lot of PS2 games--they aren't backwards compatible on the 40.
