The official online Sony store in the US, Sony Style, has taken down the 'basic' model of the PlayStation 3 from its Web site, as a number of retailers stop selling the cheaper model of the console in the States.
Today companies including Amazon.com, Best Buy, GameStop, EB Games, and Circuit City were no longer listing the 20GB model on their Web sites.
The 20GB model of the console has a number of differences to the 60GB version aside from the size of the internal hard drive and lower price, including the lack of Wi-Fi connectivity and multiple flash memory card readers, and the chrome trim.
The move also throws doubt over the launch of the PlayStation 3's 20GB model in Europe, Australia, and other territories, where currently only the 60GB version is available. The budget version was originally expected to arrive sometime in the "Summer," although no hard date was ever set.
A Sony spokesperson told GameSpot, "We'll continue to monitor demand for the 20GB model, from a consumer and retailer perspective... which will be factored into any future Euro launch plans."
