If you're looking for PS2 compatibility, go for the 60GB (CECHCxx) or the 20GB (CECHBxx) models. Be careful with the later models, they lost that feature.

The original 60GB and 20GB models of the PlayStation 3 are fully backwards compatible with PlayStation 2 games. These are the holy grails of backward compatibility!

Honestly, just get a PS2 if you want full compatibility. Those PS3 models are hard to come by and usually cost a fortune.
