I'm thinking that will be the pricing model, too. If you think about it, even when there isn't an official pricecut, Sony still continually upgrades the size of the HDD. So it is only natural that they would have upgraded the $249 model with a 250GB HDD this year even if there wasn't a new Slim coming out. But since there is a new Slim, with reduced cost in manufactoring and shipping, they will be upgrading the HDD and cutting the price at the same time. So the 250GB should definitely be priced at $199, with the 500GB taking over the $249 price point. I would guess the 16GB is going to be priced at $149-$169. I think Sony is going to have a very nice holiday season this year.
