Windbane, read the rest of his posts. It's pretty clear that even the people who follow these matters pretty closely have completely missed what's going on here. People are acting like the 60GB is somehow being replaced by the 80GB model that says limited edition on the damn box.
Nazatips, it doesn't matter that you, I, and most forum denizens know that the 20GB was perfectly fine. The general consumer didn't. The general consumer out numbers you about 100 million to one. So when the general consumer saw the two models at the system's launch they assumed that, like the Core system, the 20GB was crippled. They thing didn't sell because uniformed people thought it was bad. You need to get out of your tiny little corner of the world and realize that just because the maligned 20GB didn't sell well doesn't mean the 60GB will fail at the same price. Hell, by following your logic (OMG, there was already a $500 PS3 and it didn't sell) it'd be easy to make the conclusion that, since the 20GB failed so miserably, the PS3 would sell less at $500. You know, 'cause the 20GB didn't sell well at that price either. Don't be ridiculous, this price drop will increase sales noticably and so will the eminent influx of games.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
