I personally would wait until I can *cough**cough*pirate*cough*cough my PS3. Hehe, who said that ?

Well if you can find a 20gig or 60gig one try to purchase that; since they include the PS2 hardware. If not, then go with the 80gig model.; since it can at least handle the PS2 emulation. The 20 and 60 models, despite having the hardwarem can also do the emulation playing too.
The emulation play has its advantages sometimes over using the available ps2 hardware. Like display scaling for high-definition TVs. Or some people claim using the PS3 hardware removes some lag in some games (I've heard claims that God of War2 runs smoother on a PS3's emulation play than on an actual PS2).

Or if you are gonna keep your old PS2, since you backup your PS2 games like me, then really it does not matter which you choose. Since the PS2 you've grown to love will still be with you.

i think i may go with the 80 gb just cuz of the (virtually) unlimited ps2 mem space

BTW is it possible to move memory card files to the ps3

Yes but you need to buy a separate accessory to do so.

Even on the 20 or 60 GB ones, it's effectively unlimited. Not that it matters anyway since the PS3 will let you copy save files to a USB drive, so you can store them on your computer or the internet.

I haven't heard of anyone filling up the official 40 GB PS2 HDD with memory card saves. I tried with a couple RPGs just making a new save file at every new save point I reached. So why is the 80 GB system seeming a better choice in that light? PS2 saves are a minor issue in comparison to the compatability issues.
