80GB PS3 dead, 120-160GB with Dual Shock 3 incoming...

Odd that they would keep the 40GB version and up the 80GB one. I would think they would go to a 80/160 SKU set. I'd still like one at some point

widening the chasm between the 2 models, it would seem. hmm, where have we seen this before?

Well even if they do get rid of the 80GB version it's supposed to be fairly easy to swap out the HD in those things without voiding the warranty. Just so long as they keep the backwards compatibility I still get one.

Has anyone managed to keep track (or have a website) of which models are backwards compatible? I know they dropped it from some, but not all...

The 40GB isn't. All others are.

Ok, so if I want one that is backwards compatible i should buy a 80 now...
