According to Sony, the SixAxis controller will be discontinued after the new DualShock 3 controller launches next week. I say…IT’S ABOUT TIME!

Rumor has it that an insider at Sony divulged information on a new 120-160gb model of the PS3, which will be packed with the Dual Shock 3 and will also be the same price as the 80gb.

IGN also reports various sources have told the website that a recent Gamestop conference call reportedly confirmed the death of the 80 GB PlayStation 3 model. The sources also allege that in its place Sony will release a 120 GB version packaged with ready-to-rumble DualShock 3 controllers.

How sweet would that be to get double the space and a DualShock 3 all for the same price as the current 80GB model? Yeah, that’d be sweet.
