Based on what little we know about a potential slim model I don't think they're going to discontinue the original models. Assuming that the the proprietary MS HDD are not the right size for the slim and external enclosures are it's only option it would be incredibly stupid to limit customers to only one model with a maximum of 32 gigs of space. Although I'm somewhat surprised to see it only dropping by $50 if this is true. With a MUCH smaller motherboard, no built in HDD, I'm guessing significantly smaller overall size, and not bundled with Natal I would have expected it to be $100. Unless the slim includes WiFi. This is also backed up by Ballmer's comment about multiple entry prices and form factors. :Edit: Actually after reading over that Ben Heck article probably only slightly smaller overall size and possibly a small internal HDD.
