Not sure, because the price-cut happened right after the M$ announcement. If M$ can't respond by dropping the 360 price for awhile, it puts Sony in a good position. By the time M$ can afford to drop the price, Sony can counter with another drop.
As it is now, it is much easier to argue the worth of the PS3 hardware over the 360 hardware, even without adding prices for playing online. $500 versus $480 for the best deals for both consoles, and only the PS3 plays movies in HD, has wi-fi, card readers, and free online network that apparently is getting a movie/music store soon.
