And if those are true, I suspect they'll also be a core model at $299 with 10-16GBs of flash memory since a 8x-12x Blu-Ray drive would mean no more mandatory installs.

10-16 gb is too low these days but it is always possible. DLC model and bigger and better downloadble games trend will continue. They should atleast do 120gb. I am sure the cost is negligible. 

Of course it is for the hardcore gamer who downloads dlc, demo's, etc, but the core PS4 model would attempt to capture the more casual/budget market the way the 360's arcade and 4GB models did this gen.

I imagine they would either sell their own HDD like Microsoft did, or they could allow buyers to upgrade with their own HDD like with the PS3. I'd probably bet on the first.
