This is what comes up:

Sony has been DENYING the **** out of this rumor, saying it is up to retailers to make the descision to not carry th model.  Yet you can't order the model DIRECTLY from Sony???

Why is this being done?  First, Sony looses a good deal mroe on the 20 GB model than the 60 GB.  Second, a game like Oblivion requires around 5 GB of install space on the PS3 hard drive.  That is due to the slow loadtime of the Blueray, what happens when Saints Row comes out on the PS3?  Another 5 GB???

This is the same bait and switch tactic Sony is pulling with gimping backwards compatability.  Lip service, lies and BS.

Sony are a gaggle of LIARS, they can deny all they want but even their own online store says otherwise.

And btw, NPD data from JANUARY had 98% of PS3 sales as the 60 GB model.  They arent shipping it anymore.

The price of entry is officially $600 in the US and much much higher elsewhere.  Cows = OWNED.

I got the same error, but it is possible that they are simply sold out.DaysAirlines

makes me wonder what would happen if ever a developer used the full 25 or 50 gigs available on blu ray.  Would it require a 15, 20, 25 gig installation to the HD?  60 gigs could fill up pretty fast I imagine.THETRUEDOZAH

Red_Cloak has always been a sort of Sony conspiracy theorist, so anything he says has to be taken with a grain of salt. However, this is 100% factually true that the Sony Style store is out of 20 GB PS3s.

On its own, it doesn't mean that Sony has dropped the model. But considering the rest of the news surrounding it, it seems likely that they're discontinuing it.

Do you have a link to the NPD data about the 60 and 20 GB models?

it didnt sell so gamestop stop taking them if something dosent sell why support it?

It is smart of them to do more 60GB models since they make more money that way, in EU they don't even get the option of a $500 (or whatever price they would charge for this version there) console. themyth01

I don't think is a matter of them losing less on the 60 GB model ,I think its simply that consumers simply prefer the 60Gb Model
