It’s always fucking amazing to see things like this. Pud of course being the man with the illegal plan at E3 this year. How on earth he even got in I don’t know.

Anyway being one of the many at the show this year especially on the Culver City lot, it was cool to see Sony looking like they were going to actually bat one out for the consumers, enter The Register / El Reg with the info from SCEE about the status of the 60GB price reduction. Guess what, the $499 deal wasn’t a kindness act by them it was so they could wipe out existing stock so they can pull yet another 20GB magic show.

For those not following it’s simple.

20GB PS3 @ 499 - Sells like fucking hotcakes out the door, instant boost to overall unit sales

60GB PS3 @ 499 - Sells like fucking hotcakes because everyone waiting for a price cut went for it thinking holy shit the PS3 is going down in price!

The catch to both was that no matter what the idea behind it was, that it was destined to sell out and become yet another cut SKU from their lineup.
Good game Sony, you honestly almost had a lot of people there. While you can get the 60GB right now, don’t hesitate on that one because it wont be around for long. News from the register notes that chances are they have already cut production of the 60GB units and are running out the inventory as this is typed.

Next up! 80GB PS3 @ 599! oh well it’s 20GB of space and Motorstorm, you know that hyped up game that fell flat on it’s face when it hit Japan and then again when it hit the US because of all the bugs that were later fixed in an “update” dude when you have like 17 patches and 1 feature, it’s not a fucking update it’s a fucking patch.

Anyway, thats all. Fucking Sony fucking the fucking consumer again because they love fucking people out of their fucking money.
