Is Backwards Compatibility better on the 80 or 60?

[Mxr5150]

Is the backwards compatibility better on the 80Gb, 60Gb, or about the same for the different PS3s? I have PS1 and PS3 games that I just can't part with so backwards compatibility is pretty important to me. I checked each of my old games on Sony's site and they all look like there have been no problems found running on the systems, but I was wondering if either 60 or 80 does it better?

60 gb is better for BC.

Thank you, what's different about it?

The NTSC 60GB and 20GB models have both the processor and the GPU of the PS2.

The PAL 60GB only has the GPU.

80GBs don't have either and use software emulation.

40GB don't have anything.

Thanks, I did not know any of this. Is there a difference regarding what the games look like on an HDTV?

No the processing for upscaling between the two is identical.

The 60GB has over 99% BC.
The 80GB you should check individual titles. Some have frame rate issues, some have menu issues, etc.

You can enter a game title here (http://www.us.playstation.com/Support/CompatibleStatus) to check compatibility status with either the 60GB or 80GB models.

The US 80GB PS3 is the same as the PAL 60GB.
