You really need to seperate what Sony is actually saying from what you wish they were saying.

Sony has only stated:
-60Gb is $499 until is sells out as it has been discontinued.
-80Gb with reduced backwards compatibility (~60% vs. ~100%) and a 5 month old game (8 if you count japan launch) is $599

The actual Sony press release mentions nothing of an additional controller, mentions nothing about the controller having rumble, and mentions nothing about future price drops. In fact the box shown in Sony's official press release shows only one controller: http://tinyurl.com/23lkrh

Would it be smart to drop the price once the 60Gb are gone, yes.
Would it be smart to include rumble in the SixAxis, yes.
Would it be smart to include a second controller, not so much as many people play alone and controller sales actually make Sony money.

Has Sony in any way said they would do any of those things, no.

80 gb has <70% BC, and what is wrong with making predictions on what Sony might (and probably will) do.

 You sure the BC isnt higher? I could have sworn that the PAL BC is like 95 - 98% now.

PAL BC is about 85% at the moment. If think they set a target of 95% for the end of the year. Both these figres include all 3 levels of BC (perfect, minor & noticable).
