I am thinking of purchasing one of these. Does anyone know of any good deals. The cheapest I can find is £290.

OP i wouldnt waste your time trying to find a 60gb ps3, you'd be better off getting a 40gb and get another hard drive as been suggested

Although I think the main purpose of the OP is to make use of their existing PS2 games which the 40GB PS3 doesn't work with. It's rather deficient in other areas as well, it's a wonder why they introduced it to replace essentially what was actually a better product.

I've got a broken PS3 I'm selling on ebay for my brother-in-law, How do I know if it's a 60gb or a 40gb he can't find the box/manual ! I'm useless with these things !

if you go into something like hard drive or memory it should list free space and used space or something similar,

If it was simply the hard drive then I could almost see how they could justify it as an easy upgrade later but there's also half the number of USB ports, no flash card reader, no super audio CD support (not a big loss but still...), as well as loss of PS2 backward compatibility. They've cut out quite a bit there, normally they'd be adding features over production life rather than stripping them out. Yet our overseas cousins not only retain all those features in the 80 GB model but being 80 GB are getting a larger drive as well.

I heard that Sony are releasing a 80GB PS3 in the UK, no release date confirmed yet but I assume xmas time?
