Best Buy done with PS3 20GB model

The hard evidence is starting to flow in that retailers have had about enough from the PS3's 20GB model. A Best Buy employee sent us a printout from their computer system showing the status of the 20GB model as "discontinued." We confirmed the printout information by contacting three separate stores. This does not mean the 20GB PS3 model's production has been discontinued -- just that Best Buy will no longer carry it.

When Joystiq spoke with Sony's David Karraker earlier this week he told us, "Overwhelmingly, retailers have been requesting the 60GB model, the mix has been about 80 percent 60GB, 20 percent 20GB retailer orders." With Best Buy's decision to no longer carry the unit, a major retailer has walked away from the 20GB table, obviously the margins were better on the 60GB model. Sony says they are still producing 20GB models.

Wraggy this has already been posted. Come on don't do this to the newsposters. Let them be in the news section rather than shifting their news to Gaming and Hardware Forum or some other random section. Clearly your post came after YKB's post. Just note the time: http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/sho...420#post380420
Anyways, I can't blame them for dropping it. Who wants to buy it anyways?

I would never buy the 20GB. For those of you who don't know, the 20GB also has has no Wi-Fi and no media card slots. That sucks.

less features means less buyers, hell, less harddrive space equals less crap you can put on there
