In what Pocket-lint can only assume is a public relations blunder, the Sony-backed "HD World" newsletter, designed to promote the Blu-ray format, has revealed a new model of PS3 for Europe.

...umm, I don't know if the titles says it right. Actually the piece ends with:
" We got in touch with a Sony Europe spokesperson who stated: "The HD World newsletter is written by external sources, and the report quoted is from independent analysts. There is absolutely no 80GB version of the PS3 planned for Europe in 2008". "
Which doesn't sound to me like your standard "ooops... you caught us, but... no comment" and it certainly isn't an official confirmation like the title says, but actually a bit of the contrary. Sure, it could be just a standard denial but actually I wouldn't be surprised if the words of I believe head of Sony europe turned out to be true: I think i remember him saying that 60 to 80 is not a big enough difference to justify a new line and a 120 would be more likely should a new model surface for europe...
