You guys assume too much, with regards to the price to produce a current model PS3.
The PS3 is basically just as expensive (or cheap, depending on how you look at it) to build as a 360, except that it comes with a HDD, and uses a BD drive instead of DVD. The BD drive is the major factor in hiking the price, and blue laser diodes, and the price of manufacturing BD drives in general, continues to drop on a regular basis.
Because someone guessed that a PS3 loses $40 per unit a year (or so) ago, means absolutely nothing, in reference to PS3s produced today.
back OT: These look 'shopped.
