My old ps2 is pretty much messed up( I got it when it first came out) it dosent work on some of my ps2 games , I didnt really take good care of it...anyway I was decied to get new ps3 but after some research ps3 80GB can only work most of ps2 games and I also need the Memory card adapter for my old ps2 memories so i was thinking should I get:
PS2 : $149.99
PS3(40gb) : $399.99
total : 549.98
or
PS3(80gb) : $499.99
Memory Card adapter: $14.99
total : 514.98
p.s. Most of my games are rpg games and I dont want them not to work on my ps3(since ps3 80gb possibly dosent work some of ps2 or psx games) and also need the memory card adapt cuz I didnt finished the games

If you can get your hands on a 60 gb PS3, then get that one. The 60 gb has the emotion engine, which was the CPU used to run PS2 games. The 60 gb can play almost all PS2 games without a problem. But if you can't get your hands on a 60, go for the 80 gb. It's a much better option. You get Motorstorm, which is like 60 bucks, and you can use it to play PS2 games. The 80 gb is the better bargain. Since Motorstorm is free, you're basically only paying around 455 bucks.
Just so you know, there's a rumor going around that in January 2008, Sony is going to introduce a more compact PS2, and it's going to be only around 100 bucks.

PS3 40 gig plays no PS2/1 games whatsoever
PS3 80 gig has memory card slots built in
only the 30 gig doesnt
also the PSX is a short lived media center only released in japan which was the first system to use the xmb
PS is the original with PS1 being the miniature one

Out of the box all Playstation 3's except the 40gig can play Playstation 2 titled games. All Playstation 2 Game saves are saved to the hard drive on the playstation 3. The memory card adapter is only used for copying stuff from your Playstation 2 memeory card to the hard drive on your playstation 3. It can also do it copy Playstation 2 saves from the Playstation 3 hard drive to the memory card so you can play the game at the same spot on your ps3 and your ps2.

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.
Wi-fi included in all models, except 20GB.

80GB is the way to go, the fact is that the 40GB doesn't come with the same stuff as 80, it has less features that i cannot remember from the top f my head, have a look

I agree with the above comments, especially if you play RPG (which take more space to save games) Also note that the 80GB ps3 will give you a free game (want it or not). AND you won't need to litter your enteratinment unit with an extra console. 80 seems like the way to go.
I hope you enjoy!

You should get the 80 gigs one, it plays ps2 titles, (but FF titles don't look as good as in the ps2)
