Because Sony's presentation was for Europe and not necesarilly the world and it was concerned with letting out news of new skus. The old skus will be discounted by the retailers in a few days.

This same thing happenned when they first had new skus replacing the original units, I think when the 40/80gb models launched? It was a day or so before retailers showed lower prices.This is just how they do it when they are changing minor features vs when there is a real price drop or the slim model was releasing.

According to who? And no the same did not happen with the old skus, SONY cut the price of those skus..

I don't have time or the want to search for it, but I distinctly remember when the 1st change in skus came around it was a day before Sony said older skus would get a discount.

No retailer will keep the 120 at the same price as the 160 as these newer models start to be advertised and fully enter the market. The 120 and 250 will be discounted, may not get Sony marketing campaign as it will be done at the retailer level, but it will happen.
