7-eleven has a notice stating that Sony has requested to pull back all 80GB PS3s in Japan along with any and all displays. All pre-orders will stop on August 9 at 10 am in the morning local time. This means now only 160GB will be available in Japan. Is this a hint by Sony that the much rumored PS3 Slim is really on the way! Oh! I really hope it does!
