The MGS version is, as far as we know, the same as the older 80 GB version. It has the ability to play PS2 games, but it's partially emulated so some games don't work very well, or at all. The 60 GB model that the original poster and I have can play every PS2 game there is except Guitar Hero II, which has some issues with the controller.

Unless the OP is talking about the European 60 GB, but then I don't think Europe is getting the same MGS bundle we are.

To answer the original posters question, Sony has started to admit that they've noticed people want to be able to play PS2 games on their PS3, so they're planning on doing something about it. We're not entirely sure what that is yet, but there's probably going to be some sort of software PS2 emulator that works on all PS3 models, since Sony has started talking about PS2 downloads on PSN. It'll probably only work for a few games at first though. I don't even know if they're going to bring back the 80 GB model's partial BC outside of the MGS bundle.
