good stuff dude. i've yet to purchase one myself...there was a faint glimmer of hope when the "price drop" was announced, but that quickly went to hell when i found out that it wasn't going to be permanent

. the only question now is when Sony will decide to drop the 80 gig to $500 - like you said, it can't stay at the current $600 price forever, but I don't see them dropping it any time soon either. (Side note: yet, in this current situation, Sony somehow thinks that an additional 20 gigs + MotorStorm justifies the extra 100 bones vs. the 60gig model...hmmm)

for one, the 80 gig is definitely not going to drop (in price and perhaps the pack-in as well) anytime before or during this holiday season since the people who would have bought it at its advertised price would obviously feel cheated. so that'd mean sometime next year.

but if you're like me - what with a broken PS2 and thus unable to play any of my games - then you can see how im starvin' to play something right now, lol. id rather save for a ps3 then buy a used ps2, but that doesn't look too good until sometime next year --> that and i simply refuse to spend the $600 + tax on just the console alone.
