I find it amazing, that it costs less.

 Korea is also known to be one of the countries where people spend the most % of their yearly salaries on entertainment. However, they're also known to be largely PC gamers.. and have no real favorite in the console market.  Just a thought though.. Honestly if it was out here I'd have bought it I have this weird thing for having the high end models, even if I don't need it(I mostly avoid microtransactions.)

Cost less than what region? Some countries it's cheaper than others.

It means that the ps3 is costing less to manafacture.

Huh? The Japanese have always had a cheaper PS3 than the US. The Europeans have always had a more expensive PS3. The price differences between countries had nothing to do with manufacturing.

Wait, I get it! They're not dropping the price. They're upping the storage. So, perhaps newer PS3s in NA/Europe/Japan will get 80gb PS3s soon? Maybe they'll knock off 50 bucks from the 60gb?

Does software sell well in Korea? I always thought Korea (and HK/China) the majority of users are pirates. As of now theres no way to play 'back-up'ed games but I find it highly unlikely that games would sell over there. = more losses for Sony when they sell PS3s.

trust me the ps3-zy will not sell in korea,unless starcraft comes out on it
