40 gigabyte model isn't backwards compatible with Playstation 2 games at all. It has 2 USB ports and no card reader.
80 gigabyte model is mostly PS/2-compatible. It has 4 USB ports and a built-in card reader.
The original 60 gigabyte model was almost 100% PS/2 compatible. It has 4 USB ports and a built-in card reader.
None of the cost-cutting will really matter if you mostly want to watch Blu-Ray movies or play PS/3 games!
As a home entertainment center, PS/3 works okay: I find it mediocre as means of showing off digital photos or playing digital music files. As a DVD / Blu-Ray player, it's a speed demon, though not a totally silent one.
I still recommend PS/3 for Blu-Ray movies because it's got far more raw computing horsepower than any other B-D player, and some of the bonus content on the B-D movie disks is really designed around that. Two-minute delays while your movie disk loads? Not with this thing.
The remote control is PS/3's really weak spot: As supplied by Sony, no known universal remote will work with it because it doesn't have an infrared sensor. It also seems to "sleep" after a period of inactivity. I just picked up a Nyko Bluewave IR remote (only $10 at my local Gamestop!) and will see if that gives me the ability to control PS/3 from my favorite universal.
