$199 is the eventual goal, but that's not possible for now. Last generation, it was $50 or $20 pricedrops here and there. Not a $200 pricedrop out of left-field.

yeah, a 200 price tag in 07 is impossible

Now:
Core - $299.99
Premium - $399.99
Elite - $479.99

After $100 drop for Core and Premium, and $80 drop for Elite:

Core - $199.99
Premium - $299.99
Elite - $399.99

That's the way I see it, anyway. And with that very doable $100 drop, that'd put the Core at the magic $199.99 price.

I think a $100 price drop is doable after two years on the market, but with the PS3 priced so high and the 360 is doing good numbers as-is, I think we'll see about a $50 price drop for the fall, but they might throw in a free game.
