That limited edition sells out then the 80gb becomes the standard at 500 dollars soon after the 60 gb has sold out entirely. http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=26704 Hence, the great offers and stuff, sell lots of PS3s and get rid of the costly 60 gb machines and replace them with the 80 gb machines that they are either closer to or are making actual profits on. Pretty clever.

I think this needs to be viewed differently than 60gb vs 80gb. It's actually limited production made in house by Sony, and massed produced by outsourcing. I am certain(relatively speaking) that the 80gb is cheaper to produce than the 60gb.
Don't get me wrong, I am VERY glad that my PS3 is 100% Sony made =)
@URNotE, yes this should've stayed under better wraps, the confusion can't really be afforded right now. They're really pissing me off now, just when Sony finally started to get in a better light PR/public wise. :(
