That may be so. My second point, though, I believe carries weight regardless. Namely, that dropping the price of something very shortly after launch is an indicator of poor sales/value.

I still would like a link to where it says that only the $600 model is open-priced in Japan.

pinata242's post above (#45) has this link:

http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?op...=3864&Itemid=2

which says:

Sony cut the price of the 20GB hard drive-equipped PS3 under heavy criticism that the system was too costly. The company reduced the price from just over 60,000 yen ($516) to 49,980 yen ($430). Japanese retailers will determine the price of high-end, 60GB PS3s.
