Our inside source of all things video gaming has been right almost every time it comes out of the shadows to give us information, so I'm going to dispense with the back story. Wherever his or her information is coming from, it's usually solid. After I spoke to Sony about the possible discontinuation of the 80GB PS3 model, I lit the mole-signal.

"Sony is, in fact, phasing out the 80GB PS3. Sony is going to stay with the two-SKU approach though, and the prices look to stay the same," the mole told me. I heard sirens in the background, and the mole seemed nervous. "The Spiderman 3 pack-in will disappear as well once the 80GB unit is gone. In order to maintain a similar value proposition to the 80GB/Spiderman 3 bundle, I expect to see a storage increase to 120 or 160GB at the same price point, plus the new Dual-Shock 3 controller"

The story of this generation...

Sony needs to get this 120GB unit out the door.. as if gamers needed even more reason to wait before buying.

Not a better model, it has a larger harddrive. They didnt improve or change anything, you will probably only get a bigger harddrive and the new dual shock controller.

The 120Gb is, I believe part of gearing up for Home and a revamped store and extra content.
You can always upgrade your HDD anyway.
