And you've reduced the price of the higher spec model...
We also realised that going into this Christmas that there will be people who don't want two devices hanging off their PlayStation 3 – a hub and a memory card converter – and who do want backwards compatibility. For those people what we've done is we've reconfigured what is the Starter Pack right now. The Starter Pack as we have it at the moment right now – two games and an extra controller – will cease. We will produce the 60GB machine with all the features, including the backwards compatibility, plus two games and the one controller for GBP 349.

Might just be me, but that sounds like they aren't discontinuing the 60GB in Europe. Really, it's amazing how people can read things the way they please and ignore the fact that something to the contrary is right in front of them. Not that Sony is reliable, or anything, because they are constantly saying two different, contradictory things, but there's nothing to say that even if they stop making the 60GB model they can't replace it with another SKU. I mean, that has been their modus operandi. If there is an actual demand for it, they'll find a way to put it on the market.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
