Sony to phase out 60GB PS3

by J.W.

Yeah, remember how everyone was psyched for the price-drop regarding the 60GB PS3? Yeah, turns out Sony was only messing with our hearts.

In an interview with w Norwegian website, Kaz Harai himself is quoted as saying:

We’re no longer in production for [the 60GB PS3], so once that product is gone from the retailers shelves, then we’re back to the $599 SKU only, so it’s not like we have a two-price strategy here in the US market, which we found out very early on, that consumers react mostly to having one SKU as opposed to two.

…oh, Kaz… you guys sure know how to squander away ANY good publicity you get. You had a strong showing at E3, you were FINALLY getting the people on your side… and then you go and do this bullshit.

Piss.
