that the PS3 isn't selling well. Why else would a company cut the price of a console that hasn't even been on the market for a year??

When I got mine I didnt know,
I could watch youtube, surf the web, install linux, that blu-ray was 50gb, i could store music videos and music on it, stream stuff from my pc to my ps3, play slideshows with my camera's pictures, or download games.

Its only natural that Sony drop the price of the 80 gb when the 60 gb is gone. The 80 gb is cheaper to make! EE chipset = $27 in savings when removed. Upgrading the harddrive from 60 gb to 80 gb = maybe $10. Net to Sony = $17. Hardly a move of desperation as this article tries to imply.
Weren't people expecting this 80gb price drop since the 60gb price drop was announced? Don't see the news there...
I will continue to wait. I have a few friends who will do the same. Hell I may wait untill KZ2 drops. I bet there will be 2 more drops by then.
