Well, that is only one component of the entire peice and if it needs to be $250+ to make $$ then you need to add probably at least another $150 for the rest of the stuff and WHOA!!!!! right back at the current $400 price. i.e. no price cut coming.

in a way there was a price cut in the form of an upgrade. 40GB -> 80GB is about a $5 difference and 80GB -> 160GB is about a $20 difference. Grant it that the upgrades are basically fictional since dropping 2 heat pipes and the CELL's size plus power suuply and motherboard shrinks amount to about maybe $100 is savings but still Sony has breathing room now for a price cut after the holidays which would be the smartest thing to do since they are trying to make a profit and a price cut before the holidays would be a retarded idea.
