where can i find the 20gb ps3?

[Inspector Jihad]

I think its a better value than the 60gb version, but i cant seem to find it anywhere.

Sony doesn't seem to be making many (any?) 20GB since they lose more money on them.

If you buy the 60 GB from www.SonyStyle.com they have a $100 rebate offer for signing up for a Sony / Chase credit card.

 

[Safeway]

It is sold out everywhere.

Kind of dumb of them. If they made the ones people WANT to buy they wouldn't have to lie about the PS3 being sold out - it actually would be sold out.

The PS3 launch in a nutshell

Decent console, good blu-ray player, coke-snorting boozehound execs thinking up every possible way to sabotage their own launch.

i bought the 60gb version...it came out to be 550 after the rebate and the tax and shipping. thanks for the heads up.

do i need to buy special ps3 component cables(do they have a special connector) or will regular component cables work?

If it is anything like the PS1/PS2, it will have a proprietary AV Multi OUT. You could use a standard optical cable for audio or HDMI for video, the but the component out would be proprietary.

Exactly, standard HDMI and optical out, plus a proprietary av-out for other connection types. The AV-out included is just composite not component or s-video.

It has the same mutli-out as the PS2, so if you have a PS2-to-component connector you can use that.

so if i can get a ps2 component cable for cheap, i can use that?
