Sony phasing out 120GB and 250GB PS3 SKUs, the latter now going for $299 at Fry’s

From a supply chain management standpoint, this all is smart — why have four separate PS3 SKUs with various HDD sizes when just a pair will do? After announcing last week that a 160GB and 320GB PS3 Slim could be making landfall within the US and Europe, it sort of feels as if Sony has decided to phase out the prevailing 120GB and 250GB flavors. There’s no definitive word on when production on those will stop (we’re surmising that the stop order has already been placed), nonetheless it seems like some retailers are already setting out fire sales on the now-old models. For those curious, that’s a Fry’s installation pictured above, that is selling their leftover 250GB units for just $299, or an identical price as the incoming 160GB unit. Decisions, decisions…
