Sony has made some filing with the Federal Communications Commission for what it seems like as an 80GB PS3. It is unknown if this model is just an upgrade or if it’s a completely new SKU. The company responded with the following.

As mentioned when we made the product announcement for PS3, the system will have different configurations (thus, 60GB HDD with memory card slots and Wi-Fi and 20GB HDD without memory card slots or Wi-Fi both exists). Application to the FCC has been made with various possibilities in mind, however, it does not lead to a new product announcement at this time.

They’re probably just stalling this time, since they have not prepared everything just yet. It would totally be understandable, seeing as how the Xbox 360 Elite is just around the corner, and Kutaragi has been pushing for a 250GB version of the PS3.
