Do you think SONY could have released it for $299 US with everything but Blue-Ray (using regular DVDs like XBOX360). I'm curious to know how much people are paying for the Blue-Ray technology in that system. lol, the Bill dude was giving Jack Tretton such a hard time, being the big boss is never easy.. well, the questions are natural, I mean a price drop so soon.

Good point. I just checked Wiki, here’s the break down:

Took them over a 1 & 1/2 year to chip out $100 out of the price. 5 &1/2 year to bring it down to it’s current price.
