BTW, All you whiners claiming that the PS3 price cut was just a "CLEARANCE", then what is this? Aren't they clearing out current models so that they can release the Falcon model? Or is this different because it's NOT Sony?

If the 80GB model comes out at the same price as the 60GB, then that's a price cut.

 From what I can tell, MS isn't going to clearance the current 360s with a price cut and then re-introduce Falcon at the original price.  The price drop is going to stay when the  new model comes out.

You're just making that assumption with MS, you do not KNOW what MS has planned, they have not officially announced the new chipset, model, etc.

I think both companies are going to do the EXACT same thing. Sell through current inventories at the reduced price then afterwards, probably aimed for Black Friday, have the new models at the new prices. Sony just already told us their intentions(for the time being) for their new model, MS hasn't. A Gears of War bundle or whatever sounds plausible.
