I'm hoping backwards compatibility for either the PS3 or PS4 comes back at some point.

The 60GB, due to the graphics synthesizer chip, had full b/c for both PS1 and PS2 games. No other model has that chip; the 80GB model uses software emulation (like the Xbox 360) for PS2 games, which means it can play some, but not all. The 40GB can only play PS1 games and not PS2 games.
