Those idiots better drop the price of the PS3, and so what if they are going to lose more money on the damn thing? Do any of you work for Sony that it's a huge concern for you? Last time I checked, Sony is a big company that doesn't rely solely on their gaming division.

And more games could help their cause as well.

 I am not so sure if Sony even feels the manufacturing change by IBM. Don't forget they already had a long term investment with the Cell and it was planned that the first Cells would be produced in 65 nm from the start. So I have doubts, that Sony had to pay the higher 90 nm prizes. It is more likely that they had a previously fixed price, that was calculated for the 65 nm setting.

Due to Sony releasing data from 3 months before launch that the ps3 costs 800 $ to manafacture. And the fact that they got rid of the emotion engine(which probably lowered the price 50 more $), are now manafacturing the cell at a cheaper price(lowered the cost even further probably around 30-40 $'s), and now bluray diodes are easier to mass produce, most likely making it cheaper (which lowers the cost probably around 300 $ to manafacture blu-ray to around 150-200 $), I doubt that they aren't making money off the ps3, and that a price drop is going to happen around christmas time.

The BluRay drive cost roughly 200$ at launch. I'm guessing it costs around 100$.

I would say that the 60gb PS3 costs sony roughly 550-600$ after the price drop from the 65nm die size. 

I don't think anyone is in much of a position to actually estimate the current manufacturing cost on a PS3 (except for Sony executives that is). I believe that it is likely that, since Sony knew they were going to get certain cost reductions quickly, the $600 price was choosen to (at least) break even. The risk Sony faces is that they have already made most of the easy cost reductions (65nm, emotion engine, Blu-Ray production scaling), certain components have fixed costs (Hard-Drive), and it will be awhile before they are able to make any further big reductions (45nm process is 12 to 18 months away); if they reduced the price at this point in time they would probably be set up for long term losses.

 I never said ANYTHING about about a user end price drop. :P  I'd be suprised if there is one before August.
