The hard evidence is starting to flow in that retailers have had about enough from the PS3's 20GB model. A Best Buy employee sent us a printout from their computer system showing the status of the 20GB model as "discontinued." This does NOT mean the 20GB PS3 model's production has been discontinued -- just that Best Buy will no longer carry it.

yeah this isnt good. it means that the PS3 isnt selling well enough to even support the 20gb version. most people buy the 60gb ps3, but now they wont have a choice.

there really is no need for a 20GB version, since the ps3 already uses a lot of memory when the games dump information in it for faster downloads

Threatening to drop PSP. when was that? also

No one buys 20Gb PS3.

Everyone goes why not spend $100 and get  extra 40Gb, card readers and wifi

It's not really that suprising, the Core Model 360 doesn't outsell the Premium 360 either.

So much for the "But the PS3 is $500, not $600" argument.

Dang it, I was gonna buy the 20 gig too...back to the drawing board, lol, seriously though I don't think that will change anyone's mind about buying a PS3, if you were gonna spend $500, you'll definitely spend $600.
