Nice. There goes the "blu-ray is still too expensive and isnt getting cheaper" arguement people use for why ps3 cant get a price cut.

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.

That's what I've been saying. This year we will probably see no cut, but in March or so, there is a great possibility.
