I would not be surprised if this was true. The 80GB system for $600 seemed like a rip off beside the 60GB system but if they are just selling the remaining stock at $500 to clear them out and then going back to a $600 price point that would explain it.

And denial is nothing new from them, it's deny deny deny until it's official.

Sony has apparently not learned from their mistakes. $600 price point is going to sink this system. Even if they sell the remaining 60gb systems and increase their user base it doesn't make up for the fact that sales will fall back to previous levels while the competition gets tons of new users this holiday season.
