Might mean the end of all non software driven Backwards compatibility. Probably a move by Sony to cut some loses (since its the lower end models that are really moving anyway)
The 80 GB version was on Best Buy's site earlier today, but has since been removed. We can only hope that the $299 PS3's are just around the corner. (January 28th is the rumor)
I really am ignorant when it comes to the new game systems. What do you need 80GB for? Does it store that much of the game on the hard drive.
As far as games go, our house is still on the PS2 and Nintendo DS.

Yepp, still going strong on CCity.
I wonder if BBuy and Sony have worked something out. Will be interesting to see how this shakes out.

I'm not sure how it relates to gaming, I used mine for mp3 playback. You can load the hdd up with music and play it thru your rcvr(also pics and video). It also may have OTA dvr capabilities coming.
The PS3 manual also shows you how to easily swap the drive for a larger one

Thanks. That makes sense. I can see why 80GB might be overkill.
IMHO it was. I barely used 10 gigs of my 60. Plus, treat it like companies treat their dvr's, give them a very small hdd and let them pay to upgrade it
So whats the speculation for the missing 80gig?
*) Plans to sell 2 40 gigs, the black and white
*) Plans to drop the 40 gig to $299
*) None of its true
I do find it strange that BBuy is the only name coming up in the rumors. Curious to see what the 28th brings, if anything. The 80gig is still readily available in CCity stores and online.

When Playtv comes to the PS3 i will upgrade to at very least a 500 GB. Playtv will allow you to record two HD channels at the same time! Then you can stream them to other TV's in the house!

Now, I can see the advantage of that. For sure.
I thought the limit was around 500GB, I guess I need to go research on google to find an accurate answer.
