The 20 gig PS3 appears to be on sale at Gamestop for 450 USD. The page doesn't say anything about why this is here after the 20 gig was canceled for North America.
November 2025 is the 61st month the PlayStation 5 has been available for. In the latest month, the gap grew in favor of the PlayStation 5 when compared to the aligned launch of the PlayStation 3 by 1.57 million units.
In the last 12 months, the PS5 has grown its lead over the PS3 by 3.31 million units. The PlayStation 5 is currently ahead by 28.11 million units.
PS3 got a bad rap because of the price. I bought it day one (I was very lucky). A Blu-ray player was more expensive than the PS3 at the time around 800$+
And that was for a standalone player with no internet connectivity. A network enable BD players like the PS3 was, were around $1000 at the time
That's true, but it gets worse. I remember seeing independent analysis from CNET or something like that. They concluded that PS3 was not only the cheapest, but also had the best video quality of any BD player.
Good to see there is an improvement despite the challenges plaguing this generation.
At the end of year 5, the ps3 received a pricecut making the 160GB model $250 and the 320G GB model $300.
I miss those days when there was not so much demand for microchips and the prices of things generally came down.
Now everything seems to be a smart device with very few companies to supply the needed chips.
Why compare to the PS3? The machine was a total abortion.
Comparing to 4 would be best being it’s the previous generation and was hugely successful.
There is a ps5 to ps4 comparison. The PS4 currently has a narrow lead.

we should also not forget what shitstorm the ps3 got cause of the price bk then
it was still a phenomenal console
Western media did everything in their power to destroy the ps3. They shiited on its price and made fun of the CELL (I'm surprised there wasn't more dbz memes) calling it alien hardware. Still it gave us games like Uncharted 2 and TLOU.

? not a bad price I might pick this up when more ps3 exclusives launch.
DarthBillBoy reported this as "other" and called it a gimped version. If this is a "gimped" version then what is the $400 360? This has all the features of the $400 360, for only $50 more. Quit being such a penny pincher. $50 more and you get a blu-ray player. AND 5 free blu-rays to start off your collection. This is a great price point for someone that wants a blu-ray player or wants a PS3 and doesn't need the card reader or wi-fi or larger HD.
Also DADO reported it for being "lame" when this is a PS3 that was discontinued and for $50 cheaper than it was before. And Yotsuba reported it for being spam. How is this spam? Please, some constructive criticism here.
EDIT: I totally agree that the 60 gig is was more value, but "gimped" is a bit of a overstatement. It's like calling the 20 gig 360 "gimped" now that the 120 gig 360 is out.
its a bit over priced compare to the 60 gigs which offers more.
they need to bring some of these back to America. They'd sell like foreign sex slaves. You know, in a good way. =]
how long is this going to be on sale for?
