@sqrl,
"""The 20GB model was not going to sell well in the first 2 or 3 months. Early adopters have the cash and are interested so they go for the full package. The 20GB model would sell just fine right now, and I guarantee there are people who would flock in droves to purchase it at the $399 price point."""
==> what I agree is that 20gb may have made a good way if they have kept it.
Since the 20gb model doesnt exist anymore ... we will never know
"""The 20GB being phased out was either just another Sony blunder or deliberate. I am not sure which but it was a mistake. """
==> they were losing cash producting it I presume.
"""Nothing anyone has said or will say is going to change the FACT that this is a clearance sale...and a clearance sale is just a temporary price cut. This is just one big game of semantics and it ultimately does not matter. Because even if they lower the 80GB model to $499 this still was not a full fledged price cut."""
==> yes but there are still, at least, 1M of PS3 60gb to sell in NA, so I think this offer will spread on several month (not going to stop in august for sure).
And, I dont agree with u, if they lower the 80 gb model to 499$ it will be a TRUE price cut ?
"""And what makes me laugh is that some of you guys so desperately want it to be what it isn't that you are in here screaming till your face is blue about a word game."""
==> huh, I think it is because guys (like u?) on the other side are screaming too (they may be "green" to distinguish between the anti and the pro-Sony)
""" This boils down to two sides who want to use different terminology for the SAME THING. The funny part is that no matter what you call it, it is what it is."""
==> I agree, right now, u can get a PS3 for less money, that is it.
"""You folks remember to turn the lights out when your done.... """
==> In fact, the lights were allready out since a fews days ...
It seems u are late to the party ... check the fridge, u may found some chicken.
Time to Work !
