Also, the Elite will no longer come with HDMI cables if the new boxes are correct, making the "value" argument of an included HDMI cable at $299 a non issue.
If the Slim box turns out to be real, the main PS3 SKU will likely have a 120GB HDD, making storage a wash.
Even if an HDMI cable was included, a $5 cable (I'll even overlook the practically free cables than can be bought from other places) does not in any way shape or form balance out internal WiFi (a sub $10 component that officially costs over $80 to add to the Xbox) or BD playback (even willing to overlook this $60 part since I realize many will buy a PS3 just to play games, not BD movies).
