This is interesting. It appears Sony dropped the price of the 60gb PS3 by $100, and by the end of July the 60gb will be discontinued and th 80gb will be out... at $599.
And in ol' Europe land (lol, yea, Sony Europe) we're not getting the 80gb model. Instead of dropping the price (which is what people are really after), they're giving away accessories.
They really don't like us chaps do they?
