It's one step forward and a giant lurch back as Sony is poised to pull the plug on their 60GB PlayStation 3. You know, the same PlayStation 3 that they generously shaved $100 dollars from earlier this week.

So they pretty much just reduced the price to clear stock, because the other one still is at $600.

Wow, I thought they were just cutting prices to catch up to the Wii sales, but...Totally getting rid of the 60gb version is a surprise to me.

Yeah Sony has a really good marketing plan :roll:

So, let's see.

Since people don't want to buy a PS3 for the high price of $600, let's get rid of this one, then sell this one which has hardly any difference for the low price of $600! Then EVERYONE will want to buy it!

As if, I bet they lose even more money from doing this. Morons.

The new 80GB model is cheaper to produce than the current 60GB model. Unlike the 60GB model, the new 80GB PS3 does not include hardware to allow it to play Playstion 2 games.

Wow, Sony never ceases to amaze us.
