PS3 20GB model: not dead yet |
Ó
At the moment, there is sentiment that the future Sony's 20GB model for their PS3 seems murky. The reason for this doubt is that firstly, Sony isn't even going to offer that 20GB model in Europe, noting that they may do so "dependent on demand." Secondly, according to iSuppli, Sony loses more money on the 20GB PS3 compared to the 60GB model.
There have been reports that the 20GB model of the PS3 have been hard to find recently, and supposed evidence suggest that the 20GB version is headed for a form of extinction. However, Next Generation reports that Sony claims that the 20GB version of their PlayStation 3 isn't dead ...yet.
Sony Computer Entertainment America PR head David Karraker explains:
The type of model found in stores is completely up to what the retailer orders, so if they don't see a big demand for a particular SKU, they simply don't order it from us ...We continue to manufacture both.
Karraker said that the ratio between the 60GB model and the 20GB model still remains the same since launch – 80 percent for the former, and 20 percent for the later. Also, if any of you are still hopeful that a cheaper, hard-disk-less PS3 will be available soon, Karraker had this to say: "At this time there are no plans to change our US model offerings."
Well, it only makes sense that they put more emphasis on the larger model. Especially since they've been marketing the thing as an all-around media solution for months now.

Wouldn't surprise me. Sony is looking for every way to cut costs. This why I laugh when people try and tell us the PS3 is only $100 more than the 360. Try finding a 20GB version, it's impossible. Anyway, moving on.
Harddisk-less ps3 will never happen.. the ps3 games NEEDS the hdd to work.. most of them install data to it and save games are saved to hdd by default... also u cant update the console without and hdd and bunch of othet things.. it is a necessary component that cant be removed..
xboxer trolls need to stfu about stuff they don't understand.
they will stop making the 20gb one soon ,and just make the 60gb one and drop the price to 500 .wait and see.
