So you seriously think once the limited edition is done they will go ahead and sell the console at 80 gb for 600 dollars alone?

The only question is when the limited edition ends and when the 60 gb consoles sell out.

There is a price cut, it's just they are doing it in a way to minimize losses. The 80 gb is the new SKU and the price of it alone after limited edition is done is 500 dollars.

What the heck special edition are you talking about? Please correct/enlighten me. I have not heard anything about the 80gb being "special edition." If it was announced, then that's just retarded. People are going to say "Well I'm not paying 600 dollars for it now. It's not even Special! It's just 20 extra gb. Once it's no longer "special edition" then I can merely get it for 500 dollars!"

 

That would seriously discourage sales.

 You obviously dunno the 80 gb comes with a game that is the limited edition pack in. You see a console for 500 dollars then a console for 600 for more space and a game that's your value.

I did know that the 600 dollars PS3 comes with Motorstorm.  Your point is mute.  That is not value.  a 60 dollar game and the absence of the emotion engine is not value.  20 gigabytes sure isn't value either.  That is not 100 dollars. Sorry.  Please respond to the rest of my post and not just the fact that I forgot to mention motorstorm.

Well, apparently Microsoft values 20gb  at $100. Thats how much it costs for their 20gb hard drive.
