guys..do we know how much it cost to make a Slim and Phat yet at this moment???... |
There is no definitive answer. Everything has been based upon estimates, with a common one using the often quoted $840 initial production cost of the 60GB unit as the starting point for the "near 70%" reduction in per unit production cost quoted recently by SCE, which would put the production cost at about $252.
Assuming it isn't, either that $840 initial estimate was too low, or the "near 70%" reduction could in fact be something closer to 65% or even 60% which would bring current production cost to $294-336.
As one can see, it really doesn't take much to shift that current production cost number.

I believe the 70% production cost reduction refers to the cost in Yen, in which case I calculated the production cost would be at least $311 now (which doesn't count the controllers, boxing, manuals, shipment and things like that).

I don't know, I estimated ~280 not including all that stuff. (As you can see from my previous post) 311 isn't that far off but would they be able to sell enough software and periphs to make up for that? What would the dollar amount be for their loss for you. Including all that stuff. And I know you wont forget to take retail cut out of the 300.
