EBgames.com lists 20GB PS3 as available photo

Remember that 20GB PS3 from the PlayStation 3 launch? It was supposedly "killed off", but it is now listed at EBgames.com as available for some reason.

The listed $449.99 price is a bit puzzling, seeing as how the 60GB model PS3 costs only $50 more at the same store, and that model comes with the built-in memory card readers and wi-fi capability. Did they just find some old stock in the back room somewhere, or is this something else?

Well, there it is. If you've been thinking about getting a PS3 and need to do so on the cheap, $50 off is better than nothing, right?

[thanks, Jesse Jones]

It's the same old stock. Gamestop and EB just don't want to pass on some savings. They've had those for awhile I was thinking about getting one till I found out it didn't have wifi.

I don't think that's the Grim Reaper. It's the ghost of Karl Marx, advising Hillary on what to do once she (hopefully not) gets into office.

I continue to not want one, but an interesting development nonetheless.

6-axis doesn't seem to cut the mustard, so wake me up when 8-axis drops.

They were probably trying to sell them in the stores because of low quantities, but now are worried about the possible 40Gb taking a lesser price. They want to get rid of every single one.

@orion

I don't see Karl Rove in that picture, dunno what you're talking about.

Uh, you guys know that the system is $80 cheaper if you buy the 20GB used?

I paid $370 for mine.
