If Sony plays it very aggressively, we might see $449.99, but I just can't believe they'd be able to knock down to $399.99 in one year if their original build cost was truly over $800. $399.99 is too much to hope for, I think.

The lack of consistency in first party output has been dreadful. Insomniac got the ball rolling with a good launch title, and nobody has followed it up too well. Motorstorm was good but not really feature complete. If they don't drop the price to $399.99 in the fall than it's pretty clear that Stringer considers the game division to be a nuisance. It's a shame they built up such a great brand over more than a decade and are flushing it down the toilet in record timing.
