Well according to the Washington Post's article:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/09/AR2007070900026.html
There are other reasons like striking while x-box is suffering thru a recall and the bs about how all the bugs in PS3 are fixed....

Wow that was quick reporting it was 34 minutes after the news was reported....

That's a cheap Blu-ray player right there!

And yet they release an 80GB version for old price of $599. Curse you Sony.

it was only a matter of time.

The 60gb model is being phased out. The reduced price is officially an inventory reduction plan.
