Forums - Sony Discussion - 499 model temporary until stock is gone

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=26702

 

Quote from SCEE David Reeves

 

"All they're doing is taking their stock in trade that they've got at the moment of the 60GB model, marking the price down and it will all be gone by the end of July."

 

After that stock is gone there will just be the 599 80gb version. So if you really want the price cut one, get it while it lasts!!!

Bad move for the Playstation, good move for Sony.

Actually the 80 gb is gonna be sold at the standard 500 dollars alone without the game once the 60 gb is sold out and the limited edition is done with.

Seems like the best way to cut the price but not lose as much money.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

Bah, just posted the same story from a different source. >_<

-edit-

lol, within three minutes three threads made about the same thing. 



I think it's misleading to say the 499 model is temporary, it's the 60 gb model that is temporary.

 When did they ever say that? That's BS I believe.

Well I am bad with wording Ckmlb. Be happy that when I type I re read over my posts a little, they are usually very acquard to begin with.

Link? I don't think so somehow. Looks the like the 80Gig model comes out around the same time that the 60Gig model becomes unavailable.

Its like I have been saying for days... clearance sale

So if you want a $499 PS3 in the US - better rush out and get one while stocks last ;)

...

Very clever of Sony - all this media and talk of a price cut - and it isn't one at all. Maybe they were trying to tempt MS into a premature price cut, and keep the real one for Xmas - all to themselves.
