The 20 GB model of the Sony Playstation 3 are beginning to disappear in the US. Many retailers have discountinued selling the 20 GB model in favor of the higher demanded 60 GB model. Even on Sony's offical online store SonyStyle, the lower end model is no longer available.
Speaking about the drop of the model at SonyStyle, a Sony spokesman had this to say: "The line-up [at SonyStyle] is decided based on market demand and so it's not surprising that they are not selling it on their website. But if you go to a retailer you can find it."
Besides SonyStyle, other retailers such as Best Buy, Gamestop and EB Games have stopped selling the model, but others such as Amazon continue to have in stock for the time being.
The lower end model is not currently available in Europe and a spokesperson for Sony has stated that there are no plans in the works to release it in the newar future.
"We'll continue to monitor demand for the 20GB model, from a consumer and retailer perspective, which will be factored into any future European launch plans."
