80GB PS3 goes missing from Sony Style site

Look, we're not trying to say anything, but that 40GB model looks real, real lonely sitting there on its own. Could it be possible that all those juicy rumors of a refreshed, resized PS3 package are actually coming to fruition? Maybe -- or maybe Sony is just downsizing big time... but we doubt it.

[Thanks, Jason]

Update: Reader Chris points out that the 80GB PS3 is still on the site, accessible and purchasable through the 40GB model's page. Still, seems a little suspicious to us.

I just wish that all the PS3's had backwards compatibility. It sucks that I can't play my older games on one system. http://www.freegamesystems.info

Hey Alberto! I bought the 80 GB ps3 for christmas - very happy with it, love the blu ray, all my PS2 games play on it just fine! The reason you might wait for a 160 GB is if you intend on loading other media on it, like music and photos. Its really more than a game station. I suppose that extra space will probably come in handy for future apps as well. Me, I'm nowhere close to filling up 80GB, but I'm not a rabid gamer by any means.

I'm waiting for BC and DS3 'till I get the 160 model. I think it makes sense. Maybe HOME will finally be out by then.

When someone sent a correction, why did you leave this up? Are you getting so desperate for content, since things seem to have really fallen off over the last two years, that you'll just throw up rumors or mistakes and then leave them with corrections to make sure you have new content? Come on, you can do better!
