@welshbloke, No big loss then, if it turns out true. Almost every person who's going to buy a PS3 has a PS2, especially people who will purchase a PS3 at this point. What do you mean by a smoke & mirrors pricecut? That a 40gb PS3 with 2 usb ports, no media readers & the PS2 CS chip removed for $399 is not a real price cut? I don't see why thats not a real price cut. The exclusion of those items does not amount to $100, so Sony is dropping the price, not just removing stuff that would equal the price cut amount from the 60gb SKU. I just might pick up a PS3 at that pricepoint, I'd love to see the 80gb get a pricecut to $499 w/no game included.
