That's not even a price cut. The 20gb was $499... and wasn't really missing that many features that the 60gb has. Grow some common sense. Not a price cut. Plus, would you pay $699 for 20gb more and a game? I think not. That's the only reason the prices were lowered. Oh, what's that I hear? Money? Leaking out of Sony's wallet like a huge, streaming waterfall?
@Liqwid: $100 in my book is a price cut even if you are comparing it to a discontinued product as the 20gb version. by going from $599-$499 puts you in one notch lower in the market bracket...Thus being A PRICE CUT.
I grew a pair of common sense a long time ago, thanks for trying not to be intelligent/constructive about it. Just a small note of error (you probably caught this after post). you get 20 gb and a game for $599 (not 699)
Gaming console + media center (wired/wifi) + BD player + storage for $499. that's pretty effing competitive. Although I will admit Sony is paying more out of pocket right now, HD-DVD has been taking a lot of hits via PR...you won't see those dollar effects in the short-term.
