SonyStyle ditches 20GB PS3

20gb ps3 - Image 1The future is looking up for Sony's high-powered PlayStation 3 console, but there may be some casualties along the way. The first of which is probably going to be the version of the console equipped with a 20GB hard drive.

Earlier we reported that game retailer EB Games has stopped selling the 20GB version of the next-gen console. Soon after, Sony's official online purveyor itself, SonyStyle, announced that only the 60GB version of the PS3 will continue retail operations in the store.

Sony representatives explained that the package with the larger storage capacity was more popular with consumers. The 20GB model was never made available in Europe since the PS3 was released in March 23 in PAL territories. A Sony spokesperson answered a query regarding that topic by saying "we'll continue to monitor demand for the 20GB model, from a consumer and retailer perspective, which will be factored into any future European launch plans."

The halting of the PS3 20GB sale in SonyStyle was explained by SCEI rep Satoshi Fukuoka as, "The line-up [at SonyStyle] is decided based on market demand and so it's not surprising that they are not selling it on their website. But if you go to a retailer you can find it."

We're sad to hear this news about the 20GB version, but hey, we shouldn't be. The 60GB PS3 was a better deal anyway, and that's why people liked it better, right?

The PS3 is a disaster. 5 months and one model is already discontinued. They may crash and burn quicker than the Neo-Geo.



Oh yeah...

Hmmm so lets stop putting 20GB PS3's on shelves and see if demand is there.

Yeah, such a big disaster. It's been out 5 months and sold a third of the 360's total sales!



Oh, and by the way: first posters + turds.

# get rid of itGuest 2007-04-10 04:23
i think they should just get rid of the 20gb model and bring the price of the 60gb model down to $500

i think they will honestly take away the 20GB and move the 60GB to the 20GB price and then maybe to a 360 and make a 120GB PS3 or 200GB PS3 at the $600.

Why sell something that nobody is going to buy. Although with that logic they should stop selling the PS3 entirely.

STFU, if you have no ideas what you are talking about.

The 20gb is a waster and can't do **** compared to the 60gb any way. I would never have considered getting the 20gb anyway cause I'm happy with my 60gb. Sony great job, keep it up! Keep those non-sony fanboys wanting lower prices and keep them talking! Oh yeah man!

On third of the sales? who cares about that really? I would be concerned that ps3 was in development longer and has only one tenth the quality games.

# Oh is that so?Guest 2007-04-10 08:28
I have had an Xbox 360 since January of '06 and as far as I can say I didn't see any "quality games" coming out until Q4 of that year. I just played Call of Duty 2 till then and I had a blast. Now I play Gears of War on 360 and that beats everything the PS3 has to offer for now, but remember it's been out for four months. The PS3 has games coming (Lair, Heavenly Sword, Little Big Planet, Killzone 2). From what I see in screenshots and gameplay footage (excluding Killzone 2) they look very fun. Just take a look at the GDC Little Big Planet presentation and you can't help but smile.

No, see thats where your wrong. Sony is stupid. All they care about is money. I promise you that Sony is gonna milk ya for all your worth. I know, I know, Microsoft has done the same thing, but they also compensate for that by giving us 360 owners alot of goods. And um, If there WAS going to be a 200GB PS3, the hardrive alone would be around 400 bucks, then you have your precious blu-ray. Your looking at $899.99+

a 120 GB SATA HD can be bought by consumers for 105 buks at newegg and replace the PS3 HD...



BTW ... sony can get them for much cheaper



think about it before you speak..







but yes Sony is still all about the almighty dollar...and charge consumers $100 for a card reader, 40 extra GB's and Wifi.. oh...and "Chrome"...
