80GB PS3 Phasing Out In Japan?

The farther along in the year we get the more evidence that shows a possibly PS3 price drop or redesign is coming soon. A post by Kotaku about the PS3’s status in japan recently shows even more evidence of change coming. PS3 consoles are starting to become sold out in many stores in Japan. Not only that but 7 11 isn’t accepting anymore pre-orders. I think its pretty much guarantee that some sort of change is coming.
