They really aren't raising the price, ABF, just introducing a new model to sit along side the already existing two models. Microsoft said it isn't replacing anything, and it is a permanent sku. They predict the Premium will still be the sweet spot for gamers. Besides, you do get an HDD with six times the storage capacity for only $80 more. I believe the Elite comes with component and HDMI cables, and a headset.
lol @ dmiller. It will be years before Sony's online network reaches the fidelity of Xbox Live. Hurdles include the fact that it's not built in to the PS3 like Live is to the 360, and the fact that developers aren't required to use it.
Anyone implying that consumers are going to be confused by all this is simply not giving people enough credit. Especially in a day when there are multiple configurations of mp3 players, cell phones, and TVs. Those markets seem to be doing just fine, no?
