Mrbob said:A price drop so soon after Xmas seems odd though.
Of course, perhaps Sony isn't happy with how PS3 sales have been in non holiday season so perhaps they are trying to get a kickstart to keep things rolling and not go back to 100K sold a month.
Only a 50 dollar price drop on the 80GB model is strange.
no matter what hapens with this rumor, i dont see the 80GB staying around for long. If its not available ANYWHERE else, i dont see it staying available only in the us. Having to run a seperate line to produce a handful of consoles? Waste of money.
