If you can get your hands on a 60GB PS3, you'll be golden. It's got the hardware to play almost all PS2 titles. Happy gaming!
Just get a 20GB or 60GB model. Don't bother with the others; they lack the proper hardware for PS2 games.
I have an original 60GB PS3, and it's amazing for PS2 games! Best of both worlds in one machine.
