For those asking why they wouldn't say now that the 80 gb will be the new sku at 500 dollars after the limited edition is done:
The reason is simple, they want to sell as many of the limited editions, and if people knew that they could get the same thing minus the game for 500 dollars later, they will wait instead of buy it.

Update 4: We got this clarified statement from Karraker, who said "The 60GB PS3 will be available in North America for $499 until supplies of that unit are depleted. We have ample inventory to meet the immediate needs of consumers in this territory for several months to come. We won't be making any further announcements regarding our PS3 model hardware strategy in North America until the 60GB model is exhausted and market conditions are evaluated."
At the point where that happens they will stick to the one SKU as they have said and it will be the 80 gb without the pack in game at 500 dollars. Make sense now?
Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!
