Don't they normally not increase price but rather replace the older HDD with the same price? Prices have gone down on manufacturing and they're selling gangbusters so I'm guessing they'll just phase out the 500gb and introduce this as the new standard this November or early next year.

Right, but they're so comfortable now I don't see why'd they effectively cut the price (or value add). Maybe they expect Microsoft to do the same?

Either way, I think it's a good move. With some games taking up 50GB, you want to minimise the required hard drive management for the user. I haven't had any issues with capacity so far, but I have thought about making the jump to 2TB. Maybe that will happen with a slim model down the road
