I think sony has to drop the price. Including bigger hard drive is good, dropping the price would have sold more.
The PS3 doesn't sell as good as it should not because of it's capacities or games but because of a too high price. 300$/€ should be the maximum price for a basic SKU.
Make an 80gb if you want, but bring back the old 20Gb at 300$ and it will sell well.
Changing the hard drive after really is not a big deal.
(I bought my PS3 60Gb at 600€ so it's not a rant of someone who can't afford it)

They won't drop the price, Sony has stated many, many times that they want to be profitable. There is a slight chance the price will drop € 50 in Q4 of this year, SCE was profitable in the same quarter last year even with a € 100 price cut. But don't get your hopes up.

Sony does not "have" to do anything. Keep in mind that they are the biggest of the three companies involved in this console war. As such, they have more decision making ability and cannot simply be "forced" into a price drop. The only way I can see that happening is if sales fall even lower and 360 sales keep going up. I'm not sure if that will happen cause I think PS3 sales should go back to normal with the 80 Gig September.

They are not the biggest... They actually are the smallest. Sure their total sales are higher but Microsoft makes much more profit and Nintendo also makes more profit than Sony (the whole Sony).

I was talking about which company is worth more money.
