SonyStyle has removed the 20 gigabyte PS3 model from its website. Why would Sony bother doing this though?

Sony is most likely working on a new higher end model. Next-Gen.biz discovered a US Federal Communications Commissions report that says an 80 gigabyte model is in the works.

With the new Xbox 360 Elite model coming out soon at 120 gigabytes - why would Sony bother with a mere 80 gigs? Is Sony simply trying to cut costs on the amount of money that they lose with the PS3? With the already high price of $599 Sony can’t afford to make the PS3 even more of a luxury item.
