Considering the balancing of the system and that the "sensible" configuration you were talking in other threads being over 399 cost I would say this one probaly cost 599 but will be sold at 449 at launch.

Yeah, it'll likely be a $550-$600 machine intially sold at a loss (PSN and Plus will make up for this, however). Still, I don't rule out a $399 option, especially given, like I said, we don't know clock speeds or how much RAM is in it. 

But, unless you want this company to find themselves with another PS3, no one should expect anything higher than $499.

I'm all in for a 399 pricetag even if costing 599 to make (much better situation than PS3 costing 800 and selling for 499 and 599 both to customer and sony as it is less loss and components that will drop in price better than PS3 had plus PSN can help a lot). The better HW they can ship for 399 pricetag the best for their plan.
