All PS3, except for the 40 gb, can play PS2 games via hardware emulation (20, 60 gb) or software emulation (80 gb).
I don't have any advice. You're buying the best system out there, so enjoy it.

The 20, 60, and 80 gig play ps1 and 2 games. If your going to use your ps3 to play your old game I would highly suggest you trying to get you a 60 gig. The 80 gig is able to play ps1 and 2 games but not as many as the 60 gig. The 60 gig is the perfect console for you. Good luck with your search. I also suggest you go to sony website and check to see if the games you want to play are able to play on the console your going to choose. Remember the 40 gig CAN NOT play any ps1 and 2 games.
*the link below will tell you if the game you have will play on the ps3*

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. It's the latest version.
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.
