i hope with the time we get a fully 80gb+ BC. for those few users without a ps2 and alot of money

They are all going to be gone

 

This afternoon, Sony Computer Entertainment senior vice president of marketing Peter Diller answered several of the lingering questions about the new 80GB PS3. First, the $399 model will soon be the "de facto standard SKU" in North America, with all other models--including the 40GB bare-bones model being phased out. Dille said Sony has already ceased shipping the 40GB to stores, and is letting the remaining stock of the console clear itself out of the retail channel. He said Sony had no price cut akin to Microsoft's $50 discounting of the now-discontinued 20GB Xbox 360.

BC is gone for good.

Yes! I'm not going crazy! I thought this happened last week for the week of the 28th, and now it seems to have happened again for almost every week since MGS4's launch.

Since MGS4's launch, the closest the 360 has come to the ps3 was the week of July 5th, with sales of 54k for the 360 vs 60k for the ps3.

Prior to this, there had been a week where the 360 outsold the ps3 something like 59k to 49k, if I recall correctly, but not anymore!



There have also been some software adjustments
