Sony is phasing out the 60 gb to be replaced by the 80gb

I admit that this was all done very sneakily but if the main SKU is 600 dollars for the holidays which I don't think will happen then it will be a big mistake by Sony.

Also, they should have never revealed this right now and kept it until the 60gb units had sold out then said: 'oh the 60 gb SKU is done, the new 80 GB SKU is now 500 dolalrs'.

That would have saved 'em so much trouble. The head of Sony Europe is pretty disconnected from the situation in Sony America obviously.
