The Current 60 gb model is being Phased out yes but it is not being replaced with the 80 gb model . Instead North America will be getting the 60 GB model without the Emotion Engine to operate PS1 and PS2 games and will have to rely on software to play games. The guy from Sony Europe was either misinformed or didn't quite express what he wanted to say but either way I think Sony is saying a 499 version is here to stay. Hell without the hardware to push PS1 ans PS2 games maybe we could see and additional price cut on the 60gb by Christmas or a 60 Gb model with a game for 499.
