Rumour - 80Gb PS3 to be dropped in Japan

Hatimaki's rumouring that PS3's 80Gb SKU is about to be discontinued in Japan.

The Japanese site's posted a retailer note saying pre-orders for the Black, White and Silver 80GB PS3 will stop on August 9, apparently at Sony's request.

Sony has already discontinued 20Gb, 40Gb and 60Gb PS3 SKUs in Japan.

Thanks, Kotaku.
