Why would they drop the price?

1. They're the cheapest console already, they don't need to be cheaper-er.
2. They're gearing up for a huge launch (Natal), there's no need to drop the price.

I really don't see this happening.

Slim's coming, but I dunno about the $149.  I think they should do a single SKU; $199 slim, 120GB HDD (internal) and Natal.  They need to get Natal out there as fast as possible, and making sure it came with every slim would be a good was to kickstart that...
