You know that PS3 price cut for the 60GB model that we wrote about a few days ago? Well come to find out, it’s just a short-term price-cut to get rid of the supply that they have. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. Sony expects that all of the 60GB models recently priced at $499 will be gone by the end of July, and after that your only option will be the 80 GB model for $599 (the original 60 GB price).
Why Sony would announce a price cut for such a short amount of time really doesn’t make sense. I get that they’re trying to clear out the stock that they’ve got, but a price drop for less than a month hardly seems worth it. Unless they didn’t think they’d move them otherwise.
Are any of you going to help Sony clear out the 60GB stock and purchase a PS3? Remember, you can also get 5 Blu-ray Movies for free with your PS3 purchase or other Blu-ray Disc Player. Not a bad deal!

Another thing that Sony did that didn’t make sense was when they started selling a Blu-ray player for $500 (not the PS3). It would make more sense to sell the PS3 for that price and have the regular Blu-ray players priced higher than that to show that the PS3 is a gaming monster AND it has Blu-ray for a lower price than just a Blu-ray player. Sony has been doing some weird stuff lately.
What a shame so they pulled a fast one on the people.
It’s funny that you said that because I was thinking the same thing. It would really push anyone who wanted Blu-ray to purchase the PS3 since it is less.

Basically, Sony says they have enough stock to sell for several more months.
Thanks for the update Max! I guess that’s good news, but it is a little disappointing that they are discontinuing that model. From what I heard they expect the supply to last that long, but don’t plan on manufacturing any more.
