can anyone tell me if the 80 gb ps3 plays ps2 games......I know the 40gb does not, and i have been told that the 60 gb (which has been recently discontinued) does play ps2 games but now, what about the 80 gb?

This question is an often one, so that's my cut & paste answer:
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 version, 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.

It should play most PS2 games and a lot of PS1 games. What you might want to do if you get it, though, is keep checking for updates to the Firmware, because they will be updating the software to allow for compatibility with older games. I do think that by now, however, they have most of the games working.

Yes they do. And i would recommend you get the 80GB if you're planning on buying a PS3.

yeah, it does. Through emulation, though, so I'm not sure how compatible it is.
