Sony has been unhappy with their current 20gb and 60gb, and as a result they released a 80gb model. Now, do to a slight hick-up in the pr office, a dude spilled the beans and Kaz just had to come clean up for PR reasons.
There is no doubt that the PS3 80gb will go to 499.99 once the 60gb model is gone. The more that are sold, the faster the 80gb goes down in price.
Kaz simply can't say that the 80gb will go down in price because that would be bad for current 60gb sales. People would wait for the 80gb to reduce in price to get the better deal if they knew that a newer version would be at the same price.
Sony is not a multi-billion dollar corporation for being stupid. They realize sales have increased due to a price drop. So once the 60gb is limited, the 80gb will be droped in price and probably the game, Motorstorm, will be taken out. For now, they are just giving people an incentive to buy the 80gb model with the included game.
Sony may be stupid at times, but they are not that stupid.

Yeah right, then all the people that brought the 60 gig would be out 20 gigs and be screwed. What about theother regions. Soits only for thenorth america right? So there will be 80gigsfor 500 in theNA but 600 or 500 60 gig in the pal terriores.People will say anything to make something sound better. The "price cut" was a quick way to get rid of the 60 gigs and build up there install base but once the 80 and 60 gigs sit next together just like the 20 and 60 gigs did they might have a problem again.
