40GB not offically gone/dead...more like being "Revamped"

http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/08/rumor-wal-mart-memo-says-40gb-ps3-to-be-replaced-in-august/

The new bundle will appear in August according to a memo from Wal-Mart. This new bundle will probably have the new DS3 controller with it instead of the standard.

Man you always do keep me up to date on the latest happening going on around the gaming world. Just read that link and they are most likely right about what comes with the system, I have friends that work at walmart and they get memos like that from time to time also and they said that its nothing to drastic usually. So it probably is the Dualshock 3 controller and it seems logical if you think about it. They have discontinued making the original Sixaxis controller so for them to make new consoles they will have to include the new Dualshock 3 controllers in the bundle and especially now since the PS3's are selling so good they will need to make new *stock* of the system to ship out.
