There have been rumors that the 80GB was being discontinued, as Best-Buy stopped restocking it, and Gamestop had a leaked document about dropping it from the inventory. Well, it's official, the 80GB PS3 isn't discontinued, just replaced, with something far better.

A METAL GEAR SOLID 4/DUALSHOCK 3 BUNDLE!! They're dropping the current $499 package, and replacing it with a bundle that comes with Metal Gear Solid 4 and a DualShock 3 controller. But get this, the best part is that the price ISN'T DROPPING AT ALL. For the same $500 you get THE system-selling game for the PS3 packed in. With the awesome new controller.

Anyway, it comes out June 12, and as you can tell, I'm a bit giddy about it This is just the excuse I need to save up $500. Awesome system plus 2008 Game Of The Year? count me in.
