yeah had a look there and didn't find the model my workmate was on about. I think he must have been on about the 80gb NTSC model.
The 60gb model was what I was going to go for so I could play all my PS2 games as well
Honestly if you've got the space I'd just get separate consoles. You'll pay through the nose for a backwards compatible PS3 whereas you can pick up a 40GB and a PS2 for £100 or so.
