Those quotes from David Reeves are not accurate. He said that if they had lowered the price in Europe, that territory would have run out of their current inventory by the end of July... As announced this week, SCEA's product offering in North America consists of a 80GB PS3 available in August at $599 and a 60GB PS3 available now for $499. We have will have ample supplies of both models to meet the needs of our consumers for the foreseeable future.

What about Kaz Hirai stating the exact same thing in a video interview?

What part of Kaz Hirai saying the PS3 60gb is being discontinued in the American market are people not understanding?

What exactly is we discussing? Is they phasing out the 60 GB in EU and not USA? Why would they run two different SKU for the different markets? I don't get it.
