You're wrong. Everyone who thinks that PS3s are still selling at a loss is wrong. PS3s cost about $400 to manufacture back in JANUARY. There is no way it costs more to manufacture them now than it did 9 months ago due to the lower prices of hardware components, it must cost a good amount LESS than $400 to manufacture them nowadays.

Just because the production cost is half does not prove that Sony is making money per console. Most signs right now point to Sony just breaking even per console. Because Sony has stated that their main goal at the moment is becoming profitable with the PS3, a price cut is not in the cards anytime soon, and would do nothing but hurt them anyway.

EDIT: I also have an inkling that HOME is not going to be free, at least not the full version of it.
