Actually, the new 80GB "Core" does still play PS1 games.
I'm with ack_bak on this one, I think we'll see "bundles" or deals by retailers over a straight out price cut.
I've read about the Uncharted bundle, but its $499 - Uncharted Game, Spider-Man 3 movie (or some other movie), second controller, and a 160GB PS3.
There are still people on forums speculating PS2 emulation will come via full software. But if playing PS2 games is at all important I say track down a 20/60/80GB model that can play them now before they are all gone.
