There are also rumors of the cell being cheaper to make then estimated now.

Sony is no longer selling a $840 PS3 to you for $600. Those days are gone, with prices going down and manufacturers trying to make there items more affordable in a dire economy I estimate you are being sold a $450-380 PS3 for $400. This is just talking about last year. This year it will only go down more.

Analysts say sony can break even next year. if the system costs 350 by march they can sell it for just that. By Christmas you are looking at 300.
