The 20GB, 40GB and 60GB versions of the PS3 have been discontinued. According to this, the 80GB PLAYSTATION 3 looks like its next. This notice is apparently from retailer 7-Eleven (7-Eleven sells video games in Japan) and stats that pre-orders for the Black, White and Silver 80GB PS3 will cease on Sunday, August 9 at 10am. The reason listed for this is “For the manufacturer”. The notice also notes that all in-store displays for the 80GB model are to be taken down. If this is true, then Japan would be left with only the 160GB PLAYSTATION… Or perhaps there is an upgrade in store…

7-Eleven sells video games in the USA as well.. Kotaku needs to do research before posting articles.

It would destroy whatever sales they still get from current PS3s, IF this is what's actually happening.

My other guess, there's NO PS3 Slim incoming.

It's the slim.. They wouldn't discontinue it for nothing.

@deathgod33

Then People will stop buying a PS3 then they can't clear out the remaining PS3.

Edit: CGI beat me to it.

But in some other countries 7-eleven does not.    Usa is not the only country outside Japan you know.

Being that Kotaku is an Australian site, and in Australia 7-11 do not sell games I see nothing wrong with them putting this in.
