    I've been looking around for a 60 GB one, but does anyone know anything about this? It seems to be mostly rumours at this point, is there anything even resembling an official word on this?

    sure youd probably get a 40gb machine and a 160gb harddrive for the same price

    If they were going to release it, it'd make more sence to do so before Christmas IMO.

    That's what I thought! I kinda want a BC PS3, so I'm more than willing to wait for this.

    Right but the 80gb has the same features as the 60gb had and these were removed for the 40gb.
    Loss of 2 usb ports, media card slots and most important for a lot of people... ps2 compatibility.

    I got the 60gb, i do not have any ps2 games but there is always the option of getting some.

    I was offered the option of waiting for an 80GB PS3 in hmv ,when I brought back my 60GB. But I was told it would be after christmas before arrival:(

    Look at how long it took to get rid of the 60GB models though. If they were planning on releasing it before Crimbo, then they would have never sold the remaining 60GB models.
    Sony are obviously going to make sure that a discontinued product is sold out before they start selling a new one.

    I have seen reports on some sites that the EU is getting a 120Gb model in the new year and not the 80Gb, bit it seems odd that we would get a higher spec console than whats out in Japan and the US.

    The chances of us getting a higher spec model do seem slim. But is there anywhere online where the 80 GB EU release is confirmed?
