If you used to play playstation 2 games and still have lots of them, then 60GB is a better choice. The 80GB uses software emulation, or the PS2’s GPU, and no PS2 hardware. This means it has reduced backwards compatibility to support only around 60-70% of PS2 games.

If you want a PS3 with the most features and cheap price, 60GB model is perfect for you. 80GB PS3 has extended memory, but reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games. It contains the same number of USB ports and functions as the 60GB version. Its bigger hard drive offers you more space for data storage.
