While this seems like a bad thing on the face of things, I wouldn't be surprised to see the 80GB model drop to $499 (or less if Sony's feeling generous) once the 60GB models are gone. Right now, the 80GB is coming with 20GB extra and a game. Lose the game and by Christmas it could easily be sold for $499. The fact that they have said they will re-evaluate the market strategy once the 60GB units are gone tells me they're probably planning to immediately drop the price of the 80GB model.
