Until all of the 60gb units are gone, Sony obviously can't drop the 80gb price down. As I (and others) have stated before, the 80gb model will be cheaper to make than the 60gb model. I suspect that Sony will drop the price on the 80gb model after the 60s are finally gone. However, you can't just have them both sitting next to each other at the same price, so they have made a fairly sound managerial decision here. Sell out of the current model and then make another announcement about the price drop of the new model. If they don't do this, then they are complete morons.
BTW, costco has a bundle with the ps3, an extra controller and motorstorm for $579. That's a better deal than the "limited edition" imo. BUY IT NOW. or not.
