Final is onto something tho. If only Sony would put out a model with no mem card reader or wi-fi and like a 20-40gb HD for $399 sales would really take off. The HD size matters very little. I mean an 80GB brand name HDD is $55 at newegg.com.

They need to copy MS and have 1 model that is at a considerably lower price point. The difference will be that Sony's bottom price point model is still FULLY functional. They still need to include a HD, just a small one and leave out the extras like wifi and memcard reader.

Umm, the wif-fi, card reader, etc dont add hardly any COST. Those things are a couple dollars to add on.

 

And cost is what's really keeping Sony from dropping the price.

 

They cant afford to lose unlimited money.

If they could do that, then they could just drop the 80GB model to 399, because it costs about the same to produce as your hypothetical 40GB,-wi-fi,-card reader model.

 


 About $20 for the Wi-fi / mem card readers, using iSuppli launch figures.  Now that you all mentioned it, I did see it in the rumor section of the recent Game Informer about the 40 gig.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
