Yea, it makes sense to all of us, but I think Sony is trying to push the 320 gb with a game because they probably make more profit even after the game is included with it than they would with a 160.

This is the correct answer. Margins on the 160, while in the black per Sony, probably aren't anything near an oil well. Including a game for the same price may be tight enough on the margin to remove the profit altogether. Whereas, the extra $50 for a bigger drive (that costs nowhere near $50 more to make) has much more room for fudging things in to add value. Besides, if someone was interested in a system for KZ3, the $350 is still a better option for them than a $300 system and a $60 game, let alone the bigger drive.

That's why I purchased my 250 GB at gamestop instead of the 120 GB.  I highly doubt I'll ever use the 250 GB, and knew that when purchasing it, but it was only $50 more than the 120 GB at the time and included LBP: GOTY Edition and Infamous, which was a $60 value for 2 games that I thought I'd like.
