PS3 and backwards compatibility

[Shicky]

Hi all just a quick question, backwards compatibility for PS1, PS2 games is supported by PS3's, but only in models 60GB or 80GB? My gf's little bro is after one and says he has to buy it off an auction site because you cant get backwards compatible ones anymore? Lies, right?

So do 60GB or 80GB ones come from the US then and dont support PAL PS2 games?

Thanks guys, i know its a no brainer to me as well. Managed to talk him down, can get a 40GB model with GTA for just under £305 since i work at a big supermarket chain. Cheers for the quick responses
