Honestly, what i would really do is not just drop the price to $299 but also make a disc driveless SKU and sell that for $199. Then sell a blu-ray drive add-on seperately for $120.

Wow, just wow.

Sounds crazy I know. But think of it, do you know how well a $199 PS4 without a blu-ray drive will sell?

Especially if you consider that if you ever want  drive somehwere down the road you could buy one, actually, the should make it be that in addition to using the official PS4 external blu-ray drive ($120) you could use any external blu-ray drive too. Then of course those that want to buy the PS4 as is could still do so for $299. If no pricedrops are done then this could also apply to the current pricing. $400 PS4 as is and $299 PS4 without a disc drive.
