Only the 60GB versions have 'full' backwards compatibility over here but I think they've stopped making them over here. I think the 80GB might have backwards compatibility but not 'full compatibility'...something like that, I think.
As for the 360/PS3 releases, it hasn't been changed but Microsoft weren't telling the whole truth. Apparently for Europe and America the PS3 version will be released first then the 360 version will be localized once made, so there will be around a years gap between the the 2 versions.
