Just to put it in perspective.

Before => After
R8000 => R6400
R7000 => R5600
R6000 => R4800
R5000 => R4000

Have to wait and see...... not that I'd buy it anyway.

at least HDMI is going to be included in the Core package...

The price cut is only in Japan, and the core will only constitute 20% of the units manufactured.

No one here interested in the Wii?
The new Zelda looks amazing, and the possiblities for the new controller could go anywhere.
Wasn't going to but the PS3 at the current price but with the reduction it now looks like a better deal. The reduction should translate into a worldwide price reduction.

the price cut is only for Japan though, no cuts in the US or EU when the PS3 gets released there.
