Look at it this way, they had this year's price cut last year, so maybe next year they'll have one.

But they've only had one price cut.
20GB price cut from $499 to $399, discontinued then replaced with 40GB at 399.
60GB price cut from $599 to $499, discontinued replaced by 80GBGen1.
80GBGen1 discontinued with no replacement planned with equal or similar features (this is the last PS3 to offer PS2 B/C in any form)
40GB @ $399 discontinued replaced with 80GBGen2 (also known as the 'Core') @ $399.
80GBGen1 != 80GBGen2, they are different models with different features. The Gen2 is basically a 40GB with an 80GB HDD, and the bundled 160GBs will still be basically a 40GB with a 160GB HDD ie no PS2 B/C.
