But the limited backwards compatability is not such an issue now as it is improved through every firmware update.

are you referring to ps2 or ps1 games in this statement?

The limited backwards compatability issue only refers to PS2 games. PS1 games should run flawlessly including classics. At the moment the PS3 will play pretty much all your common PS2 titles and any big PS2 titles. It's only the very rare little games that are hardly played might be glitchy. You can check the PS3 BC list on here. <- The page doesn't appear to be updated though (it seems to only cover up to FW1.80 but we're up to 2.10 atm).

The 40GB doesn't play PS2 games. But all the other versions 20GB, 60GB, 80GB do. If you import a NTSC console (any version other then 40GB) from either JP, HK, US, Korea, etc.. it won't be able to play ANY of your PAL PS2 games. But it will play ANY PS3 games just fine.

The HK version of the NTSC/J console is the only PS3 capable of NTSC and PAL. It will be able to play PAL media provided the region locking is not there (so either Region 0 PAL or a PAL disc without region locking). This excludes PS2/PS1 media though.
