I personally think it was a good idea for Sony to get rid of the 20gig PS3. When you are already paying $499.99 for a lower end model what's another $100. I have read some posts from gamers saying MS should follow suit and stop pissing off gamers. My answer to that is "YOUR CRAZY." I have no idea why gamers are getting pissed because MS is adding another sku or does not drop the core. They are just options for you to chose from and you are in no way obligated to pick one over the other. Wether Sony fanboys want to admit it or not the Xbox 360 offers a great, and I mean great console experience, at a resonable price. A lot of Sony fanboys rebuddled the elite system with "another $20 gets me a PS3" well in a month another $20 won't get you a PS3. A lot of people forget to tag on the cost of cables to suit your set-up with a PS3. Look I don't care who wins the console war. All I know is I love the Xbox 360 and I am looking forward to what the PS3 will offer.
