Everybody is saying the exact same thing in this thread, except they all want to put their own spin on it.
Plain and simple, facts are ...
1 - 60GB Costs $100 less, so people who were waiting for that will now buy.
2 - Some people were/are waiting for a price drop below $500, and will not buy.
3 - Nobody is sure (as far as I know) of Sony's plans for the 60GB and it may go by the wayside like the 20GB.
4 - If the 60GB is discontinued then the $100 cheaper 60GB will have only truly been a clearance sale.
5 - Most consumers only see a $500 price tag, some are smart enough to check what the differences are but most do not. Especially when it is grandma who is buying Billy a PS3.
You can take and put any number of spins or implications into these facts, and everyone wants to emphasize the parts that highlight their points, but they are what they are.
Everybody has acted like you can only subscribe to one aspect of this... "Either you believe it was a price cut, or that the price point hasn't changed, but not BOTH!"
They are not mutually exclusive folks, in fact to understand the impact of these changes you really need to take both aspects into account. There is far too much bickering just for the sake of making one's console sound better. Get over it please, and lets get back to a real discussion.
