I still recommend the 60GB with hardware support. That's why I didn't mention the 80GB.
Definitely get a 60GB version if you can find one. I have one and love it, though I hvae my PS2 hooked up right under it and play my PS2 games on it since it is modded and I can play the games directly off the hard drive.
My friend bought the 80GB version, and according to him, he hasn't found a game yet that hasn't worked. But really, once you get a PS3, your PS2 games start to collect dust anyway.

I really thought I wanted the backwards compatibility, but I don't think I have spent 2 hours playing my PS2 since I got my PS3.
There is also still a rumor going around that Sony will be adding backwards compatiblity to the 40GB model(and this 80GB model) via full software emulation. How well this will work, and if it is even true, has yet to be seen.
