Oh...hm seems your right turns out I either misread the wikipedia article or they changed it...it currently says the 40Gb dosent read PS2 games...oh, and is the north american version the NTSC? Is that correct?

And, can anyone back Dyne up on this? I would kinda like more than 1 opinion here...I absolutley cant get the 20gig version because it dosent have wifi.

I've got a 80Gb one, but I wish I'd got the 40Gb, which was cheaper and had two bundled in games.. 40Gb will be enough for you, unless you want to put your mp3 collection and some movies on it. Which you won't

Get the 40Gb one.

About backwards compatiblity: not all the 40Gb ones are PS2 compatible. The last batch were, but I don't think the current ones are. As far as I know, none of the current batch of PS3s are PS2 compatible.

And yes, NTSC is American. But there is also NTSC/J, which is Japanese.

Region doesn't matter if you'll only be playing games. PS3 is region-free for everything except DVDs and Blu-rays, I think.

Also yeah, true, the 20-gig doesn't have Wifi - but it has 4 USB ports which is extremely useful for Rock Band. I had to go out of my way to get a wire in the back of it but it's been worth it. It's more reliable than my Xbox 360's wireless, that's for sure.
