So apparently Sony will be dropping the PS3 price, but they are introducing an even newer PS3 model that's going to be $600 anyway. The advantage? It's got an 80 GB hard disk instead of 60. Is 20 GB really worth $100? Compare this to the Elite 360 which includes a 120 GB, a major upgrade over the normal 20 GB hard disk, for LESS than $100 over the model below it.
Well, I speak too soon, apparently it also includes a game. That is, a game no one cares about. MotorStorm? Seriously...

Sony, just start packing the 80GB drive with the standard PS3, as it's not a major upgrade at all (seriously, as it uses currently existing technology, you should be able to get it for nearly the same price as the old 60 if you TRY hard enough), and forget the game pack-in. That's just wasting people's money on your current selection of games which is, sad to say, NOT WORTH IT.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
