If Sony can make the PS3 for $199 I would buy it. For whatever reason that is my threashold for new electronics. Question for you guys, does the 40gig model have WiFi? I've heard some people say yes it does, and other says it doesn't? The model I was playing around with was the 60 gig, so it had it.

My guess is that Sony could drop the price of the PS3 if they excluded its ability to play Blu-ray. But, remember, Sony has been losing money on its PS3s, no doubt because it's expensive to build a good game console that also plays BD movies. At September's consumer electronics show, we'll see a number of new stand-alone BD players from various companies announced at lower-than-ever prices.

Thanks JS. I'm assuming there was no 1st or 2nd generation changes.

Reggie my 40GB also has wi-fi. I think every PS3 ever made has wi-fi.

The only PS3 model that doesn't have WiFi is the 20gig.

Eveyone knew that Blu-ray prices would fall the question was when.

That's an interesting thought. My twist on this is now they want to focus on the PS3 as a game system that has Blu-ray other than the current association that the PS3 is a Blu-ray player that also plays games. With new releases exclusive to the PS3 such as Little Big Planet, SOCOM: US Navy SEALS, and Resistance II this year and Killzone 2 in February 09. So with prices falling on S/A's and PS3's exclusive titles it maybe a good year for SONY.
