Please tell me how 20 GB of extra hard drive space and Motorstorm (WHY MOTORSTORM???) are going to do anything for lagging PS3 sales.

btw.... How long before the 60 GB PS3 gets discontinued?

hehe, and the cows flamed sheep for having a forced pack in :-P, but then again, you aren't forced to buy the rediculous 600 one... but still... the irony.

It's not a $500 and $600 versions. Learn the facts, the $600 is for a BUNDLE not a new SKU. The system comes with Motor Storm and has 20GB more space. The actual PS3 is now $500.

Personally, I think it's because Motorstorm has been retrofitted with rumble and the new controllers that come with the 80 gb feature rumble.

Great, I guess I'll still have to spend 599 US DOLLARS to get a PS3...which is still too much. (I tend to not look at lesser SKUs, hence why I'd be splurging 480 US$ and not 400 on the X360 just to get the Elite.)

this isn't surprising. it's coming from a company that said the prices of lcd hdtv's are too low. this is the same company that says that ms is copying them despite the fact that they got the idea of a several sku launch from ms, and an online service that features online gaming and a store from ms. this is also the same company that said that american's are too cheap. if the ps3 fails, it wont only be because of the price, it will be because of the arrogance and sheer stupidity of the heads of sony.

And that changes the fact that the main PS3 went down 100$? I don't think so.

actually the "main ps3" became the new core and the 80gb became the new premium. that would be the same as if ms dropped the core (20gb ps3 is the equivalent), made the premium the new core (the 60gb ps3) and made the elite the new premium (80gb ps3). it's not a price drop, it's a restructuring of the SKU offering.

Sony is trying to trick people into thinking its a price drop. Cuz it is, actually. But really its just 20gb more space for the same price.

what i find funny is the fact that they're throwing in an extra 20gb of hdd space and motorstorm for the same $600 price, but they're still not throwing in a free hdmi cable, not even a set of component cable. hell, ms throws in a set of composite cable, a set of HD component cables, an hdmi cable and an extra 60gb of space (40gb if comparing to the 80gb ps3) and it still costs less than the ps3. $120 less to be exact.

Wow some of these comments are quite entertaining. Listening to everyone say ""OOoOO yea teh war iz on nowee!!11!!" Getting all excited over a price drop for a videogame console that uhhh errr.....has no great ....videogames?!?! Yeah I know MGS4,(which I still think it could go multi platform IMO, even though MS doesn't need it, unlike Sony) GOW3 and about 3 or 4 other good looking exclusives that are comming out in about a year or so. So either you pay $500 for a 60gb PS3 that has(for decent games) mostly inferior xbox ports, crap titles, decent but questionable looking future plus a blu ray player, OR pay $20 LESS and get an Elite that has DOUBLE the gigs a SOLID current lineup of games Excellent Online system, a VERY promising game lineup in the future, getting more exclusives by the day it seems, Ohhh yeah a FREE 3 YEAR WARRANTY. Gee TOUGH CHOICE HUH?
BTW I am not a fanboy I do not hate Sony, I am just loving the 360 and Wii right now. Have fun watching movies, cows.

In theory, but in reality, i think people will go for the best one which is the 80. the 60 will be discontinued in 6 months.

I know! This is Sony. Ah yeah, Kaz "$599 U.S. Dollars". Rinse. Lather. Repeat. Here we go again.

What a joke. This won't even force Microsoft's hand.They'll just go on doing what thier doing, and continue to supply amazing softwarewhich moves thier already cheaper hardware. Wow!

The PS3 needs to be $400 and $500 respectively, before they start to gain any ground. Even then Microsoft won't need to do a price drop. Until the $300 core dissapears they will never have to drop their price.

The 360's software is way to good for that to ever happen.

people that don't want motorstorm (like me) won't pay 100 dollars for 20 gigs of space. i'm not getting one yet anyway, still not many games i want.

Yea if they're releasing a 80GB with rumble, then that definitely undermines the price drop. It doesn't really matter to me now, but if you we going to buy a PS3 why the hell not spend the extra $100 for the rumble, game, and 20GB.

PS3 Elite will outsell the 360 just like it is doing right now.
