PS3 for 600 bucks?

[Tidus Andronicus]

The 20GB HDD version will retail for $499, and the 60GB HDD version will go for $599.

I would have preferred to see them release 2 packages like this:

1: <$450 = no HD and smaller HDD
2: $600 = HD with bigger HDD

Simple enough, take out the HD support, thus making the console cheaper for the 90% of people without HDTVs.
Then again, Sony's probably also trying to force HDTVs into homes sooner... =/ so yah... but it might hurt them if they try to force people to pay to much for what they dont need.

But as things stand, the only advantage to the $600 version, compared to the $500 version, is an extra 40GB HDD... O_o...
Does anyone else think that $100 extra for only 40GB extra is a little rediculious?
Sorry, but I bought a 200GB harddrive for $100 over a year ago.... XD
