Sony would have a big loss selling PS3 at $200.....initially.
If Sony can convince the consumers to buy a overpriced HDD, there is a chance of even being able to profit.
Also the faster BD drive probably will not add to costs that much. I think that Sony only manufactures the slow ones to maintain all SKUs equal.
Games would be patched to not require HDD install.
Also giving the Plus! for 1 or 2 months would be a incentive to buy the HDD. 4GB is almost nothing.
Those HDDs would cost like $30 to make and they could sell for $100 or more.
But yeah, making patches could be impractical. Maybe it's too late.
