"Although we think that Sony's public relations gaffe was unfortunate, we do not believe that the company has ill intent, and we expect the $499 price point to be maintained until early next year, when the 80GB model will likely by cut again to $399," Pachter said.
that makes no sense...why not cut the 60 to 399 and sell the 80 at $499...at 400 i'd be a PS3 tomorrow.

same here, that would be enough for me to get one the day they drop the price. keep in mind that the holiday season isn't even here yet so they might do what you propose price wise. I think a lot of people would dump their ps2 in favor of a ps3 if the price came down to $400.

man ... you guys are so quick to post without reading.

the 60GB model is being phased out. They're going with an 80 soon. The 80gb model will also come with MotoStorm and 1 extra controller for $599.

The price is going back up, but they're compensating that with a bigger HDD, a $60 game, and a $50 controller.

Someone go rag on the 360 and their 3 red lights.
