wrong,

i THINK the first 60gb model has ps2 playback from hardware chips, almost 100% copatablaty.

next the compatabilaty for ps2 games was software based 'emulation' basicly and not all games worked.

then they dropped backwards compatabilaty all togther in later models.

there is a breakdown on the net that lists
each model and its functions.
but im too fucked to google.

beware, you can swap out the hd's for bigger ones.
watch out for sellers slapping a 60gb hd in a 20gb model and passing it off as 1st gen all singing and danceing.

yes, specialy now as games for the ps2 in the EU
don't need to pass $onys approvals.

again its on the net recently but i cant find the info right now
but i think it means people can make games for the ps2 and Sony don't need to sign off on them.
like they used to do for all ps2 games

Copied from somewhere else....

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.
3). 80GB - extended memory, but reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games, it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU). Around 80% 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.
5). PAL 60GB - reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games. it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU). Around 80% of PS2 games can be played.
Wi-fi included in all models, except 20GB.
Backwards compatibilty check:
