okay...so why are there no more 80gb ps3's?

well i am planning on buying a ps3 sometime next month, but i want a 80gb or atleast one that can play ps2 games.

and now they're discontinuing it? does anyone know whether there is a newer version coming out and if there is when? and does it have the ps2 emulator like on the 80gb?

i do not want to get stuck with a 40gb ps3

thanks.
