80 GB PS3 is backwards compatible and the 40 GB isn't. yet maximum persons that purchase a PS3 have already got a PS2. if that's the case then only hook both on your television so that you'll be able to play all of your video games.

Well, let's see... 40GB contains 40960 Megabytes, while 80GB contains 81920 Megabytes. Therefore, the difference is 40960 Megabytes, which is 40GB, just like the first guy said. I know this is a tough problem, as 1 GB doesn't contain 1000 Megabytes, 1 Gigabyte contains 1024 Megabytes. Therefore, to do the math on this one, you have to multiply 1012 by 40, and then by 80, which some people's small brains can't handle (their calculators probably overheat). Anyway, the first guy is right, the difference is 40GB.

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. 40GB doesn't support SACD (Super Audio Compact Disc).
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.
