Will the 12gb PS3 ever release stateside?

[zorg1000]

I think we might see this release sometime this year whrn they do a price cut. If the rumored $99 digital only 360 comes out I could see Sony trying to get a cheap PS3 sku on the market, doubtful it would be priced that loe but at $149 I could see it selling well as a cheap Blu-Ray/gaming device, the 250gb sku would then be $199 and the 500gb-$249.
