SCEE president David Reeves has said that the 60GB PS3 will no longer be available in the US after stock sells out - which he predicts will occur by the end of the month.

Reported by Gamesindustry.biz, Reeves was speaking at an E3 event to announce the introduction of a new PS3 bundle in Europe. When asked about possible criticisms over whether SCEE should have given consumers the option to pay a lower price, as SCEA has done, he replied, "Well, they're not really are they, because what the US are offering from the 1st of August is a $599 version with one game.

"All they're doing is taking their stock in trade that they've got at the moment of the 60GB model, marking the price down and it will all be gone by the end of July."

When asked to clarify if this will mean the end of the 60GB model, Reeves answered, "In America, yes."

So the US price cut deal isn’t looking so good is it – its more like an end of stock sale! We wonder how happy the US gamers will be about this…
