EBGames, Gamestop to stop selling 80GB PS3s too? |
Ó
When word got out that 80GB Sony PlayStation 3 units would no longer be available in retailer Best Buy, the gaming scene went ablaze. Now we've got information from a reliable source that giant retailer EBGames/Gamestop will follow Best Buy's move.
Kaizer_911, an EBGames/Gamestop manager, tipped us off that stock of 80GB PS3 units will be unavailable from their shelves in the near future. "I can't say for sure whats going on with the 80GB PS3 but I can relate to Best Buy," he comments.
Our source says that the stores in their district have not received a replenishment of 80GB PS3s since late November. However, it was revealed that 40GB PS3 supplies kept flowing in without a hitch. Kaizer_911 narrates:
I went ahead and looked in our Back Office Inventory screen and found that the only SKU listed as Active for the PS3 consoles (new ones that is) was the 40GB. The 20, 60, AND 80 GB SKUs were listed as Deleted.
Kaizer_911 maintains that the inventory status in question is company-wide in scope. "Unless Sony is just changing the bundles, it looks like a discontinue to me," finishes the EBGames/ Gamestop manager.
If you remember it, Kaizer_911 is the same source who gave us a heads-up on the discontinuation of the 20GB PS3. Which eventually proved true. We'll keep you posted for more.

Then again, it could be the white SKU, but I want a black PS3 thats not a 40gb, since i need the BC. Who knows? As sneaky as Sony is, they might do something to blow us away.

It's also unlikely that BC will be totally forsaken. They'd have to be losing some serious marbles if they won't take the massive psx and ps2 libraries as an advantage against the competition.

the next bundle will also NOT be ps2 backwards compatible, and not having a ps2 backwards compatible ps3 is just YOUR OWN FAULT. if you are really concern why not buy it now while it is still available (60gb and or 20gb, 80gb are half arse).
and these 80gb units are not popular unlike the new 40gb which boosted ps3 sales, so sony will eventually phase them out and create a new better deal bundle, like i said ps3+ds3+bigHDD and still without backwards compatibilty so they can pave the way to ps2 game download on PSN. yes evilish yet cleverish. two can play the microsoft download chacha game you know!
