that would just be silly to lower a model down to $179 thats nearly $100 price cut for a company losing billions.
i would price
16gb $199
250gb $229
500gb $259

1. The PS3 isn't losing money, yet its sales are shrinking.
2. This is on a new model that is, from all appearances sake, greatly cheaper to produce in just about every way.
3. Prices leaked by user on gaf that is known to be trustworthy.

yes im aware of your points but If i was in a head position at sony I would not lower the prices that low. its just losing more profit and I think if they announced a base $199 the total revenue and profit would be more than the few extra sales they would get from a $179 base
