I think a price drop will effect the ps3 more so than a starter pack. You would have to look at it like this what about the people who want a ps3 but don't really want the games that come along in the starter pack. A lower price would attract them more so than just buying a ps3 with an extra controller and three games they don't really want.

In an hour of Darkness a blind man is
the best guide. In an age of Insanity
look to the madman to show the way.
