To make money. The 80gig costs less than the 60gb and motorstorm costs them nothing since its first party. The 80gb is just a tad below from making money.

i see

he is partically right actually. Motorstorm still costs Sony money to mass produce but since development costs should have been made back the game should be making a profit now off of it. 

80GB will go down to 499 when the 60GB model runs out.

off-topic: the PS2 will have a price of $99 by December.
