Noobie said: And one last request can we just stop having this argument that Sony reduced the Price by $200 or $100... Sony initial price was $499 and $599 and now it stands at $399 and $499... i think that look a lot more objective and logical to me... u want to call it $200 price drop its ok with me.. but if my maths doesn't agree with yours then leave it... i think let it remains as a paradox of Maths for the future generation that how it is $200 price drop or $100 price drop. :) |
When comparing the original cost of the $599 model with the cost now of a $399 model I thik it's fair to say it's a $200 price cut. If one wants to compare the cost reductions of the $100 price drop they should do an estimate of the 80GB model. |
no, you are wrong. thats like saying the 360 had a $100 price cut because all three of its sku's had price cuts to add up to that amount, when that clearly isnt the case. each model, bar the 40gb have only had a price cut of $100 |
It isn't like that at all. Noobie took the isupply breakdown of the 60GB model when it was priced at $599 and did an estimate of the 40GB model priced at $399. That's a price drop for the consumer of $200. It isn't adding up the individual SKU price cuts, but a comparison of cost between the most expensive SKU at launch with the least expensive SKU now.
