120GB or higher model said to be taking its place, bundled with the Dual Shock 3 controller. January 30, 2008
by: Paul Bertram
Last week various reports/denials from Sony came in concerning the supposed demise of the 80GB PS3 model. It began with a leaked memo from Best Buy stating that the particular SKU would be phased out, then followed with the mysterious removal of the 80GB PS3 from Best Buy's website. However, new evidence has come in further confirming the – what now seems like inevitable – discontinuation of the 80GB SKU.
A GameStop conference call was held today, which supposedly explained that the system was no longer being produced, in favor of a 120 GB or more model bundled with the Dual Shock 3 controller. There's no official date for when this enhanced model will be ready for purchase, or the price, for that matter, but it should be relatively soon. GDC is just a few short weeks away, so at the latest, it should turn up by then.
Sony, of course, offered no comment regarding the GameStop confirmation. We'll just have to wait for Sony to officially announce something.

Back in the days, for each console, you only bought one model, not 3 different variations of the same model. Imagine if nintendo released 8 variations of the NES. This whole thing makes no sense what so ever.

This whole thing makes no sense what so ever. agree 100% with you KO.... just buy the 40g model & upgrade the HDD to 160g for $50 if you want. better yet...just put out one system and we can enjoy it, like back in the day.
