A card reader costs about $3. Wi-fi, maybe $15. So a $100 price cut for maybe a $25 cut in manufacturing. Makes perfect business sense if you want to lose even more money and cause more consumer confusion.

In addition, you would have the added expense of creating a seperate SKU and production line.


A little extreme here, Fishy. Multiple SKUs aren't necessarily a recipe for failure. Let's leave it at this:

1) Sony would definitely be losing even more money if they were to drop the price for Christmas.

2) Sony would increase market share if they were to do this.

We'll see how they implement it.


 i think what fishy means is that why would sony strip down the system and still take a loss when they could take a miniscule loss and probably sell a shit ton more if they just dropped the 80gb down more.
