Best Buy has stopped selling the PlayStation 3 20GB model |
Ó
It seems that Best Buy is throwing in the towel on distributing the 20GB model of the PlayStation 3. This move was confirmed by Joystiq when a Best Buy employee sent a printout (printout shown in upper right) from their computer. The printout marks the PS3 20GB model as "discontinued."David Karraker, head of SCEA PR, has reportedly said, "Overwhelmingly, retailers have been requesting the 60GB model, the mix has been about 80 percent 60GB, 20 percent 20GB retailer orders." It seems that demand for the 60GB model has already far surpassed the demand for the 20GB model.
Now, critics say that the sales for the PS3 system have not exactly been spectacular, but if the sales are skewed towards the 60GB model, will Sony discontinue the production of the PlayStation 3 20GB model? For now though, Sony has confirmed that they are still producing the 20GB model.

The bestbuy's and futureshop's in my area never had the 20GB model to begin with....
Seriously though, why would you want it...
what's so gimped about the 20gig model? no built in wifi? 40 less gigs of memory? and no flash card ports? Come on, there's nothing in the 20 gig model that makes it less superior to say, the premium 360 package.
I'm glad i bought the 20gb, dont need a card reader, dont need wifi, and i can put in a bigger hdd whenever i want, and it even plays the same ps3 games those 60gb models do *gasp*
I got stuck with the 20 GB at launch from Best Buy, but wanted to get the 60 GB with the silver trimming. Overtime, I think the 20 mb is a fair value and the 60 GB is more of a luxury. Yes, I have to plug a card reader that is sitting around my PC and I have to run an Ethernet cable to the 20 GB. But both game-play performances are the same, unlike the XB360 core system.
game play is not different on the core fanboy.
Without a hardrive on the core, how do you do XBL, play original Xbox games? Expensive add-on like a memory card, in which you should of, bought the premium edition in the first place. This effect game plays right out of the box, genius. This is a PS3 site, so you yourself is a lost MS fanboy.
Glad I didnt buy a 20 gig model I would feel ripped off, its only been out a short while and its already dead..
Now stop selling the 60gb model and the world will be more sane place.
Circuit City has PS3's 20GB version as DISCONTINUED... meaning that it's price is marked as 499.95, and when you ask to see if any are in the distribution center it says 0...
when the ps3 came out
all bestbuy had left was 20 gigs
so i bought one, i waited 6 hour in line for a
20 gig, n now they gonna discontinue it..... ***** sony
