No More 60GB PS3s In Sony’s Inventory

Sony has announced that they currently have no 60GB PS3s in their warehouses. Instead, they’ve all been purchased and are available for purchase by you at the usual retailers. What happens once those run out is completely up to Sony, but hopefully it works out to the consumer’s favor. If they stick to their 80GB model for $599, that leaves us at the same spot we were in just a few months ago.

At this point, the extra $100 is well-worth it if you plan on picking up MotorStorm and enjoy downloading a lot, but if the 80GB model becomes the only model on the market, then once again it’s going to leave less of a choice for consumers. When Sony made price drops of $100 last month to their 60GB model, sales sky-rocketed. Hopefully they know better than to offer a single model for $599 at this point.

On Tuesday, it was revealed that Sony’s online inventory had been fully depleted. In July, after slashing the PS3 price by $100, the company said that the now discontinued 60GB PS3 would be available for several months. At that point, Sony alluded that they may also reduce the price of the $599 80GB PS3 to $499 as my analyst expect.
