1Now thats interesting. They had to have realized how expensive and counter-productive it would be once MS drop the price for the Xbox by Xmas. Good idea Sony.

2They knew that they have no chance with that nasty huge price.
So far it was all about them and not about the customer.Was about time to compromise a bit.
