The value engineering cycle has long since passed, I doubt you will see any additional features removed. The only thing Sony could possibly do is include a faster Blu-ray player, and remove the hard drive. But they would have to patch a lot of games that required installs. That would probably save them $50 per sku.
Microsoft has a better model, they sell their features a la carte and at a premium. The Xbox Arcade sku is MS's best weapon against Sony.
Thanks for the input, Jeff.
