Hadn't seen this before. Strange observation:

“This will be a marketing splash as much as anything else,” said one source. “It will get their name out there and show [consumers] that they are competitive with the other players. Inventory will be constrained, but [if customers can’t find the $399 PS3], maybe they’ll pay extra for another model.”

 Sony's problem is that they think people have as much money as they do and that $400-$600 is nothing.  To a good 95%+ of people, money matters and they can't decide on a whim to pay another $100+ dollars for little Timmy's present.
