I think they should add in a bluetooth headset along with that as well, maybe even if it was the same kind that's being included with the retail version of Warhawk or something. Either that, or increase the HDD size to at least 100gigs.

I agree that a headset should be included, because more PS3 owners need headsets.

However, I'm not sure why others are saying this is negative.

@shams:  comparing this move to the elite 360 is ridiculous.  M$ did not drop the price.  They just added a decent deal while screwing over early adopters with their stupid hard drive situation (can't upgrade without $180).  Sony has dropped the price starting this week.  They dropped it $100, and it still does everything the Elite does (because M$ added HDMI to elite after saying it was not needed), except it also plays blu-ray movies for $20 more.  60GB of extra space is offset by free online play, and then some.

If you want Motorstorm and 20GB extra, then you can overpay for the bundle and get it.  I think they should include Lair instaed since it's not out until August, but whatever.  At least include a headset with online Lair play (which I believe might not exist) or something.  Still, it's not a bad deal and all they did was add features to the current price point.

So there are 2 great options:

1.  $100 off for the Premium 60GB PS3.  Awesome.

2.  If you still have $600, you get 20 extra GB and Motorstorm.  Alone, that's a good deal.  I think it would be better if it was Lair since that game isn't out yet, or Heavenly Sword.  Better yet, just give someone a coupon for a free game.  Or, just add a headset, like I said.  Still, with the current deal it's only worse because $100 is better.

Also, you still get the 5 free blu-ray movies with the purchase of any blu-ray player for several months.  That deal includes the PS3.  There isn't much negative in these announcements.
