Narrative:
On takeoff roll around 85 KTS; ECAM message 'cabin press I and ii system fail doors'. I rejected takeoff; advised flight attendants and passengers to remain seated; exited runway; parked at hardstand because of no available gate; called maintenance. After replacing the pressurization controller and waiting for brake cooling; we were re released and taxied for an uneventful take off. All crew members performed very well due to excellent training. Aircraft would not have pressurized after take off. Abort saved holding for 4 hours due to landing weight limitation.
