I know everyone here has probably had this question asked quite a few times and are probably sick of hearing it, but im gonna ask it because I need some opinions. Which one should I buy?
How important is backward compatibility to you? The 60 GB has the PlayStation 2 chipset inside while the 80 GB uses software emulation. If you want to be absolutely sure any PS2 games you may want to play will work, get the 60. If it isn't that big of a deal or you still have the PS2 kicking around, get the 80.

Quick question on bc. Because the game is emulated, do all the games run slower or only a few that have not been properly fixed like Radiata Stories or Amplitude?
With the emulator of the 80 GB you will find some games may glitch up a bit in the way you describe or will not work at all. Sony's PlayStation site has a search you can use to see if your games will work. The 60 GB has the actual chipset inside for this so it has the maximum bc for PS2 games.

Considering I only own about 10 ps2 games now a days and 7 of them or so should work fine, I think I will just get an 80gb. Thanks guys.
If you can still find a 60gb version...get it...trust me. It's easily the best one IMO, though some people will tell you to get 80GB because they don't care about the BC.
I got the 60 back in May, was the only option back then, but if you only have 10 PS2 games and most of them work then I would stick with the 80, not b/c is 20gb more, but the fact that the 80 comes with Motorstorm, that is a huge plus.
Pretty sure there's only a 40 Gig and an 80 Gig PS3 on the market. You might be able to find a 60 Gigstraggler at a store that isn't very busy like a K-Mart or something like that.
