60GB only While Stock Lasts in Europe

[wraggster]

In the UK and Ireland, a Value Pack consisting of a 60GB PS3 with extensive backwards compatibility and two first party titles will be on sale at a price of €499 (£349). Remaining on sale while stocks last, the 60GB model represents outstanding value for the keen gamer wishing to upgrade to the High Definition capabilities of PS3. Once stocks are exhausted the new 40GB model will be the only one available in the SCEE territories.

Aww, man... Poor Europe keeps getting screwed. First, you never got the Emotion Engine; but soon you won't even have the option to buy a backwards compatible ps3.

It is hard to believe how many significant changes the ps3 has experienced in just 11 months.

Yeah it is as if Sony doesn't want us. Yes we probably haven't wanted Sony's PS3 this far, but it doesn't make us want the ps3 more.

It's like this annoying girl trying to get down your pants. It doesn't work, so she gets a breast-reduction. No! No! No! - Wrong strategy! Bad Girl! Bad Sony!
