That makes sense. Cutting down the number of models of a product can streamline the manufacturing process, and even allow increased production of the remaining model. I would still hesitate to call either unit cheap, but a 17% or so reduction in price for the top model is a big step.
It's cheap. I assure you. It dosent even have a plastic chrome piece across the front... *rolls eyes*
There is about a 25$ diffrence in cost for the models. I think sony is scrapping the 20gb one... at least in a way. They are mergeing the Bluetooth chip, and WiFi. The 20gb unit dont have WiFi. So either a) their adding it. b) getting rid of 20gb model. :P
I see the 20gb model possibly selling for 425 tho. Just to drop a leg down to people not willing to spend as much. They would still take a loss, but it would really help them get market domination.
But crap. If their sold out come holiday season at 600$ each. They sure aint' droppin the price.
