Stores themselves can do what they want as many of them will currently have 40GB in stock at stores. Extra £25 off or so would be enough just to entice people to buy them over the 80GB. Unless this David Reeves has said that stores are not allowed to?

Sure, stores can discount themselves if they want, but it's more likely they'll just bundle the game/DS3 SCEE offer them than go out of pocket themselves.
DR: Well there's virtually no 40GB models left. You'll probably find that you'll have to scrape around going from shop to shop to even find a PS3, even now. Now when you come to August 27, all you'll find is an 80GB model. So we have planned this, seriously, for the last eight months, and we've run down the stocks of the 40GB knowing we will introduce the 80GB. If the 40GB is still there we will add a piece of software or an extra DualShock 3 [controller] to it to move it through, and we say good-bye to the 40GB, hello to the 80GB.
