Why not run a 40gb unit with all unnecessary extras pulled off and maintain a standardized 80gb unit and leave a 160gb unit will all the bells and whistles.  Imagine a Holiday 2009 Sony line up looking like this:

40gb "core" unit bundled with a greatest hits and a psn voucher- $229 (ideally $199 but I do not think sony can afford that)

 

 Isn't that exactly what Sony already did by removing BC and stuff when they released the famous $400 PS3 with 40GB in 2007??

 

 

Yes, it just needs to be revitalized and trimmed more.  They could even make the value edition the first to be "slimmed" to boost sales.  I'm not exactly sure how well the 40gb faired sales wise globally originally but I thought it did pretty well based on my own experiences.  I think with as many firmware updates sony has and with dlc, installsand psn material 40gb is as low as they can go to compete with the 360 arcade.  They could give the 20gb another go, but 2 games like MGS4 and your full.
