I went looking around the shops for one today but sadly there wasn't any 60 gig PS3's. So I got the 40 gig with three games for £349 the three games are Need for Speed ProStreet, Fifa 08 and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 + Official PlayStation 3 Blu Ray Disc Remote Control for £17.99. It was deal of the week at Game (a shop where you can buy games and consoles http://www.game.co.uk)

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.

I would take the 60GB since you could play ps1 and ps2 games. You also have more room. But it's your choice. But I myself am getting the 80GB.
