@Magera: The whole situation has been very cryptic. However, the fact is that the 80gb was available in most stores until around the end of February, and then at some point in March it was announced that there would be an MGS bundle with the 80gb system. So in essence, we've always either have had the 80gb system available to us or at the very least, we knew it would be returning.
My Top 5:
Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger
My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 
and Wii 
Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.
