   Bigger hard drive. The 20 and 40 are about the same, as are the 60 and 80.

   The main diffrenence is that one is able to hold more storage in memory.

   More memory to save pics, movies, and music. Don’t spend the extra money if you aren’t going to use it as a computer.

   The 60 and 80GB models were identical except for PS2 compatibility. The 60GB model had all of the chips inside of the PS2, whereas the 80gb only has 1.

   There’s no overheating problem in either model.

   Sony stopped selling the 60gb because it cost more.

   both models are almost the same, the only difference, other than the hard drive spaces, is that the 60gb one have full backward compatible, because they are using hardware, while the 80gb one have limited backward compatible, because they removed the hardware and turn it to software which means emulation, that you will not play all of your favorite ps2 games.

    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. Not manufactured anymore.
    3). 80GB – extended memory, but reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games, it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2′s GPU). Around 60-70% 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 60-70% of PS2 games can be played.
    Wi-fi included in all models, except 20GB.
    They are all based on Blu-ray. They all play PS1 games.
