3. i will give a best answer

Answer 1

The 80 Gb version can play some PS2 games, so you might want to think about that since you already have PS2. The only other real difference is the number of USB ports - the 80 Gb has more.

If you didn't have the PS2 games or wanted to abandon those games since they are not HD, I would say go with the 40 Gb version and buy a game (I like Call of Duty 4) and the BT remote for the DVD with the extra $100.

Answer 2

80 Gb but if you can find a 60gb would be better. The 60 gb had a chip that would play all ps2 ans ps1 games they took it out of the 80 to make them cheaper and the 40 never had it. 80gb you will be able to play some games by downloading them off your computer. So if you can't find a 60 gb buy an 80gb.

Answer 3

If you want to play PS2 games, I would say go for the 80 GB and try to sell the PS2. Why have 2 consoles when 2 can do the job.

Answer 4

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.
