We’ll call it the Sony Switcharoo. Last week Sony was on top of the world with a $100 price drop on the PS3. The world erupted with applause. Where the system has failed thus far has been without a doubt, the price point. Sales spiked, people finally had a chance to play the crappy games lineup, the world was at peace. But wait, whats this?

Today Sony announced they are pulling their $499 60 Gig model at the end of July and selling their new 80 Gig model for… $599?!

Who is in charge here! This is probably the dumbest move I’ve ever seen on a console launch. I’ll admit though, much like the Wii, I am healthier from all the laughing going on…
