Rumours of Sony's plans to cull the 80GB PlayStation 3 in favour of a larger capacity model have gained further credence following a Gamestop conference call which reportedly confirmed the 80GB model is no more.

Sources from several GameStop locations have contacted IGN revealing the new model PlayStation 3 will feature a hard drive of 120GB or larger - similar to that of the Xbox 360 Elite - plus will be packed in with the new Dual Shock 3 controller.

Sony is currently unable to confirm the reports, telling IGN that is doesn't "comment on rumours or speculation".
