SONY has discontinued the 20-gigabyte PlayStation 3 game console so it can focus on a more popular – and expensive – model that has a bigger hard drive.

Since Playstation 3 was launched in November, consumers have flocked to the 60 gigabyte model, leaving the cheaper unit on the stands, Sony Computer Entertainment spokesman Dave Karraker told Yahoo news.

Both models have the same hardware, but the 60 gigabyte console has built in wireless support and space for memory sticks.

Mr Karraker said the company would focus their resources on the console the people wanted, but the 20-gigabyte version would continue to have a retail price of $500 until supplies ran out.

There are still several thousand 20-gigabyte models on store shelves, Karraker said.

Production problems shortly after PlayStation 3 debuted meant that thousands of consumers had to wait in long lines and still couldn’t buy a console. While those purchasing the PS3 online were willing to pay several times the suggested retail price so they could have the consoles for the holidays.

Columbian singer Shakira, who is also known for her ability on the dance floor, today arrived in the city, a day ahead of her concert here.

“I love India and its people. I have a lot of fans in India and love the culture and food,” Shakira told reporters after she arrived at the Mumbai international airport today.

Shakira added that she was looking forward to the concert tomorrow.

The Colombian singer known for hit singles like ‘Whenever Whereever’ and ‘Hips don’t lie’ will be performing at the MMRDA grounds in the business area of Bandra Kurla complex tomorrow, as part of her ‘Oral Fixation’ tour.

I bet this is gonna be one big concert. Desibaba loves Shakira

Bob Woolmer’s death has come as a huge shock. Everyone is shocked and saddened by the sudden death in Jamaica of Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer, who coached South Africa from 1994 to 1999. Now he was coaching the present Pakistani team. The Pakistan camp have been struggling to cope with Woolmer’s death and have not had a practice session since their defeat by Ireland on Saturday which knocked them out of the tournament.

What’s more shocking is that the latest update reveals that Bob was actually murdered as poison traces in his room were found, according to Jamaican police. All Pakistani players including the physio are being questioned. This is not going to be good for Pakistani team. This may be end of international coaches for the Pakistan team forever. Or perhaps they can be banned forever. God knows! It has been claimed that there was some match fixing issues behind the murder. As said, Bob knew about some players who were involved in match fixing and was about to reveal them all the following morning. But this mishap occured. This is really insane. How on earth can anybody recover from such a big loss!

All i can say is, R.I.P The great Bob Woolmer

Well, i guess they did make us feel good if not proud. Glad that Sachin Tendulkar played out of his skins, Saurav Ganguly the new wall of India and Yuvraj Singh, the new Master Blaster   .

Bowling was good, but the killing spirit when it comes to opposition tail enders is still missing. Why do they take it for granted in the end. Why not just go for the kill. Anyways, still good bowling. Batting was great. Yeh, Sehwag was okay but i seriously don’t think he can do it against Sri Lanka I would love to be proven wrong but i don’t believe him. Anyways, fielding was cool as well. I think India stands a good chance against SriLanks and they very well have to. This win is very important for them to get them going. Well, all the best to India for the third and final match of the preliminaries at this World Cup 2007.

Go India Go!!!!!

Me, Desibaba, is really furious at what happened yesterday night.

We all, like an idiot woke up late till night just to see the complete India vs. Bangladesh match at Cricket World Cup’2007.  Huh? Dejected, disappointed and depressed with the Indian team performance.

They played like someone playing their first international match. Shameless to say, but Ireland play much better cricket than India. Pakistan crashed out of contention at the World Cup on a loss to Ireland that ranked among the biggest upsets ever at cricket’s limited-overs showpiece. India was no far Certainly a big upset for Indians too.

Here are as brief stats as they can be

Cricket World Cup 2007

India 191/10 (49.3), Bangladesh 192/5 (48.3)

Bangladesh won by 5 wickets

Next Match: Bermuda vs. India at 19 March 2007 13:30(GMT)

I cancelled the India vs. Bermuda match. Coz for some reason i don’t feel like watching it. I still believe however that India can atleast defeat Bermuda. maybe

Anyways, a sad morning for every Indian.

Tip: try finding something better than Cricket. Cricket sucks!!!!

Untill unless India beats SriLanks and Bermuda Optimism still prevails

Good day everyone.
