It has to do with your refusal accept the fact that 250gb cost more to produce than 120gb. You have the notion that they lose a lot from the 120gb and make a lot from 250gb so it averages out to be 6cents/dollar overall.

But they don't cost more?  Outside the HDD, they're identical, and going from a 120GB HDD to a 250GB HDD is a negligible cost in the sort of orders Sony's likely dealing in... I'm not sure why you aren't getting this tbh?

Obviously, it is because I am not convinced that 250gb does not cost more produce than 120gb. You can accept the fact that it would be more costly to produce PS3s with 512mB ram but it would not cost more to build 250gb PS3s considering that the price scaling suggest that both upgrades would be 'negligible'?

3rd column.

120GB SATA HD 28$, 250GB HD 35$

However, the 250GB Playstation costs 350$, whereas the 120GB costs 300$.

As you can see, even with retail pricing on the disc drive, they made 43$ more than they would have on a 120GB ps3.

 

I agree with jarrod. Why aren't you getting this? And secondly....what are you talking about?
