Yes folks, it finally happened. Sony has not only introduced the long-awaited $399 40-gigabyte PS3 (with no backward compatibility), but it also said the 80-gig version would now cost $499!
Now, on the one hand, this is pretty good news for Gamers on the whole. Had the 80-gig PS3 remained at $599, the console would have continued to fall farther and farther back in the console wars, creating a situation where third-party manufacturers shy away from making PS3 games.
On the other hand, though, Sony swore up and down that the 80-gig model would stay at $599, creating a rush to snatch up $499 60-gig models before they were made obsolete. In essence, Sony TRICKED Plenty of PS3 fans into purchasing a model when they could have gotten 20-gigs more for the same price. If I was one of those who hurried up to find a 60-gig model a couple of months ago, I'd be pissed right now.
Good job looking out for your bottom line, Sony, even when you are cutting your price. You all make the BEST decisions. Really, you do.
