Upgrading your hard drive wont automatically make ps2 games work, you need to buy a ps3 model with the backwards compatability feature. No other way of doing it i'm afraid.

Yeah, it sounds like TC is talking about upgrading to another SKU (the 80 GB) over his 40 GB model to get backwards compatibility. It's a little confusing, though, since his topic heading specifies upgrading the HDD. If TC gets a new PS3 with software emulation, then he'll be able to play PS2 games. But, I mean, if you've already got a PS2, just keep that, and upgrade your HDD with a 2.5" SATA laptop drive. I got a 320 GB one off of newegg.com for around $100. Everybody likes more space!

nope, you need a ps3 that has the emulation on it. It's nothing to do with the size of the hard drive, it's the workings of the ps3 that either has or doesn't have the ability to play ps2 games.
