OK, here you go. This is the latest update on the latest rumour that Sony may be planning to introduce an 80Gb version of the PS3. This latest ‘hint’ comes just a week after the company confirmed that it was killing off the 20GB version in the US due to poor demand.
Sony spokesperson Satoshi Fukuoka told Reuters:
“For users who vigorously store [games and other entertainment content] in the PS3, 20GB is probably going to be to small. Even 60GB may not be big enough eventually. We are not likely to change its [the PS3’s] core components and functions such as the Cell, RSX, Blu-ray drive and network capability but, outside that realm, addition and deletion is quite possible.”
Since we can count the pre-launch removal of the dedicated PS2 chip from the European PS3 as a ‘deletion’ it’s not that unreasonable to assume a larger hard drive is on the way.
My issue is that 80GB is a dismal upgrade from 60Gb, hardly worth the effort. Surely it can’t be that hard to squeeze in a 100Gb+ HDD. Can it? Let me know. -Martin Lynch

Not strange at all that this happens not long after MS announce the Xbox Elite with its larger hard drive. I suppose they have to stay ahead of the game though, however 60GB is good enough for most people I see no point in changing this, unless the 120GB HD for the Xbox 360 sales do really well.
why dont u just buy ur own hard drive and install that ?
