Sony will not be lowering the price of the PS3.. Infact I have a valueable source saying they will discontinue the 40Gig PS3 Model (cheapest one) 3rd/4th quater of this year as well.
Yeah if you combine all the rumors, Sony Japan said they're not going to lower the price. However, SCEJ doesn't speak for SCEA, meaning we could still have a price drop.
As I'm sure what you're quoting for a "source" is that Walmart memo that was leaked a few days ago that said the 40GB is to be replaced. It's obviously another SKU but another SKU doesn't mean another harddrive size. They could simply decide to bundle in another game or put in a dualshock 3 instead of sixaxis.
The MGS4 and Motorstorm 80GB packs are different SKUs, as are the 40GB Movie pack and 40GB GT5P pack in Europe. Nothing different about the system, just the pack ins.
While its tablet world topping pixel density, Tegra 2 silicon, and fresh to death OS certainly sound awesome, we had to get our grubby mitts on one to see if it's as good as its spec sheet would have us believe.
