80GB is 499
40GB is 399

Neither are backwards compatible

The 60GB is no longer in production, so if you see it in stores, grab it! It's backwards compatible!

I am regretting being impatient and buying the non wi-fi having 20GB model.

Neither are backwards compatible? That is so infuriating.

How many GB's was the PS3 that you bought?

WRONG. The 80 gig IS backwards compatible. The difference is that the 80 gig uses emulating software and the older 60 gig (which you can still find if you do your research) uses emulating hardware.

Edit: Mr. I is indeed correct. I looked it up, and apparently the software emulation seems to be doing it's just just as nicely as the hardware emulation. Very good news indeed! You will of course, need regular firmware/software updates online to keep up with the master ps2 game list, so I've been told, but it hasn't been a problem for anyone as far as I can tell.

Makes me want to sell my 20gb model and buy an 80GB model.

Sorry bud the coupon didn't work for you. Hopefully they 'll be some good specials available this week.

*UPDATE*

In case anyone was wondering, the 80gb model of the PS3 does have some problems emulating ps1 and ps2 games. For some games, they simply flat out don't work, though this will hopefully get better with updates.
