Speaking of the price, I found out that the 60GB version in Japan doesn't have an initial price...instead, they're allowing the retailers to determine how much they want to sell it for.  Wow, so that means if they're going to put it up for 80000 yen (around $700) the Japanese are just going to blindly pick it up?

Yes, it seems the HDD is the only upgradeable part of the console; the PS3 has a detachable 2.5" HDD slot. Hard disks could come in different sizes, in addition to the 60GB included in the other version of the console.
I agree with you: Sony is forcing most consumers to buy the 60GB version. The problem is they probably hadn't the courage to launch a single version retailing at $600.
