I don't have ps2 games so I'm not worried about backwards compatability. Basically I'm considering purchasing for the gaming and the blu ray player.. I will occasionally do online game play and I don't plan on dling movies, but possibly some classic games...
Which system would be the best and last the longest... Obviously the 60 gig but since I don't plan on dling much would 60 gigs really be necessary. I'm trying to purchase one which will be cost efficient for my needs.

get the 40gb ps3. it doesn't have backwards compatibilty but you said you dont need that. the 20gb doesn't have wi-fi so you can't connect to your wireless router but the 40gb does and you can always upgrade the hard drive in future if you want to and it doesn't void the warranty

I got the 60 and I've been shopping at the online PS3 store. Guess what- They sell lots of downloadable content- Everything from complete games to additional levels and characters for other games you already have- and all of this cool stuff has to live on the hard drive. So, I expect that I'll keep downloading additional content as I keep getting more new games. I'm glad I have the space to do it!

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 agree with the first answerer, get the 20GB version, if you find later on that you need a larger hard disc, there are instructions on how to replace the hard drive in the unit. The PS3 uses industry standard laptop hard drives, so later when space becomes an issue, you can purchase a 120GB SATA laptop hard drive and plug it in and format the drive and be up and running on a new hard drive.

If you don't have a wireless router in your home, get the 20 gig ps3.
