I agree...this puts Sony in sort of a contradiction. They believe that their console is too expensive...so they lower the price by 20% on the cheaper model and add HDMI...but they have also said that only 20% of consoles sold at launch will be the cheaper version. So in effect they are screwing folks over by not making the choice model more widely available.
I do believe the less expensive model will now be the model of choice as the larger hard drive and wifi are luxuries easily gone without. Especially if it will save $100 or more with the new price cuts.
Will be interesting to see if this price cut makes it stateside.
