Sony is phasing out the 60 gb to be replaced by the 80gb

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but the only extra thing in the current 80GB edition (beyond the extra 20gb) is Motorstorm, correct? If it is a special edition and when they start making the normal edition 80GB without Motorstorm, why would taking a game out drop the price $100?

 Because the new low price point is 500 dollars. They set it already. But even if they didn't do this, then the console when it's released normally without the game will at least be dropped 50 bucks because it doesn't include the game.
