Well, sorry but all the costs seem to be calculated with end user price. $107 on the Blue Ray drive seems a bit high, should be under 100 by now. The HDD seems also $10 off, the price for logic seems heavy, but could be right.

But even if it is accurate, you can see how fast the production price will drop in the future. HDD seems unlikely. Blue Ray will most likely go down to 50 till 08. The biggest part is logic. And with 65nm it should come down rapidly. Most of the controller won't come down much (summed maybe $5). CPU and GPU should come down by $50. So summed by March 08 it should be another $110 of, at least. Drop to $399 in March seems possible, if not likely.
