They discontinued the models in the US that are backwards compatible too. I had to hunt the pawn shops to find a 60gig to get the PS2 and PS1 playability.
It works well except for some of the old classic compilations (like Midway Classics for PS1), they play too fast.
I guess this info doesn't do you a lot of good since you need a PAL and not NTSC version.
