Why?

Sony needs to show profit.

Why the hell would you go even deeper in the red, if sony as a whole is weak....?

We might see another fire sale bait and switch. 80GB at $400, and the new low end SKU is 160GB at $400. Those seem to be pretty popular with Sony.

 

 

They might drop the price, but I don't think that it will have the impact that people expect ...

At $300 the PS3 is still too expensive as a gaming machine for most people who don't own a current generation console, and is expensive as a second/third console for most people who already have bought into this generation. The Blu-Ray drive does add some value, but there have already been Blu-Ray players sold for $150 (Canadian) and by the time the PS3 is $300 you could see $100 MSRP on no-name Blu-Ray players (which limits the added value of the PS3's Blu-Ray capabilities).
