It was Sony's decision to discontinue the 60GB. That's my main gripe. Because of them discontinuing it I ended up paying £385 for my 60GB.

The fact we pay so much over the odds is not exclusive to Sony. Microsoft and Nintendo do it too. As do Apple, Toshiba, Samsung and LG. But because Sony's competitors (in gaming and in general) do it doesn't absolve them.

Uh...how long was the 60 GB out there?

I dunno, 5 or 6 months I think.

Not enough time for enough good games to come out to make a purchase worthwhile.

Doesn't matter now, does it? Whether you want to admit it or not, you can't complain now since you voluntarily decided not to buy it anyways.

Sorry, but it does still matter. I had to pay over the odds because Sony did not release as good a version of the PS3 over here. We got no 80GB and the 60GB we got had PS2 software emulation.

And Final Blade you can stop with the vast, stupid, generalisations. There are approximately 700,000,000 people living in Europe. Because 699,999,999 thought the PS3 was due a price cut doesn't mean I did. I would've been more than happy to pay the price of a 60GB (*bleep*, I just did, didn't I?).

Sony need to realise PS3 sales were not doing poorly because the 60GB was too expensive, they were doing poorly because there wasn't enough good games out.

You were still given the option, whether the games fit your tastes or not didn't matter at all. And you have to understand that while you would've been glad to pay the full price for a 60 GB, there's a lot more people willing to pay for a slightly inferior but cheaper PS3...and business logic says that you please the majority.
