Do not flip the switch thats in the back..
because this can cause hard drive issues.
When you put the ps3 in standby its good if you listen to it the cpu fan aint running so theres nothing to worry about the main cell prossesor is not gathering power so there no reason to do...
I cant wait for my ps3...
Im pretty know everything about the ps3 because i waited so long and save up so money..lol..
well have fun!

Yes I believe the 80gb version can play some PS2 titles, the major ones for sure.
And it is not necessary to shut the power off from the back, but as long as the PS3 is off in general to prevent over heat.

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.
