PS3 60 Gig Phase-Out 'False' Says SCEA

SCEA has denied 'inaccurate' reports that its $100 price cut on the 60Gig PS3 is simply a move to clear stock before offering solely the higher priced 80Gig version.

More after the jump...

So now PS3 is moving along with the 80GB.

Additionally, Seagate has the 120GB and the 160GB.

PS3 is a PS3 is a PS3. Only difference is the HDD...MOVE ALONG!!

Isn't TGS in September, because if it is here is what i think. The 80gig will come out this August but the 60gig will be the one selling like mad. In September the 60gigs will be almost gone if not gone and then at the TGS they will announce that the 80gig will take over at the $499 price or maybe lower, and will now ship with the new controller.

ENNO6140d ago

... have always done is never announce anything to the last minute. which business wise is pretty smart. why would they admit a price cut so then ms could counteract to there move. thats also why they kept home under cover for ages. if ms knew what they was doing they would of had more time to do something to counteract against it.

WHO said the price cut was false. It was the President of SCE Japan, where there was no price cut. No one was lying about anything, but none of the right people were opening their mouths either.

News. Glad they put a stop to this really soon.

They say its false on the Playstation.Blog also.

Sony lied about the price cut. They have to lie though, otherwise people will just wait. Who knows. If true, maybe the didn't screw the pooch after all.

This game deserves a remaster for current consoles. It was awesome on PS3.

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

Every game in the last 2 decades...

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit12h ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife10h ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
