160GB PS3 is in stock at Amazon.com

We saw that Gamestop had a 160GB PS3 online, but then pulled it. Too soon for the expected gamescom announcement timing? I think so. Maybe Sony tried to spank them to get it pulled and they finally did.

Well, now Amazon has it up for sale. That’s not truly official, but it’s good enough for us. It’s up now for $299, and priced just like the 120GB unit. It’s hard to keep a secret these days, isn’t it?

We’ll act surprised when Sony announces it officially later today. You play along now.
