With no data to back me up, I observe that the PS3 sales pickup in EU and Australia correlates with the release of the 12G model. Just sayin.

This was a great idea! ...... in 2010 or 2011! Seriously, it's been 7 years and still the price in NA is 269. Drop the fucking price already.

my PS3's 300GB HDD failed. so I had to get one of those snap-on 360 hard drives I had laying around. I have 20GB and hate it. I can't imagine just having 12.

It's just an option.

Of course if you buy a 12GB one and then tons and games then its the wrong option... but nothing wrong with choice. I have lots of 2.5 inch drives sitting around, would i rather buy the more expensive one even though its effectively the same.. no I would get a cheaper one.

The key is to give users the choice.

The price drops corresponded with 90nm -> 65nm -> 45nm

There is no 32nm Cell so no price cut.

If realease this 12GB model it is possible PS3 sell 50K every month in north america.

that 12gb ps3 is still 229€ here so far I know -.-'

The rumor gets a date... August 18th.

If the above rumor is true, then the GTA bundle just got a $30 price drop. Tretton said at the E3 conference the GTA bundle would cost 300 dollars.

Yeah... semms like a good deal too.
