That is what Sony has said in the past. Though, with the frequent changes they do to the system I feel like they need to re-confirm the Linux stuff.

How much is a USB>WiFi connector?
 
This could presumably bridge the gap between the $500 and $600 models.
 
Halberto, how are you getting it for $425?

Remember, the price cut is only effective in Japan, and while the prices are higher here in NA for us, the games will be cheaper (same as 360), whereas in Japan they are talking about 80-90 USD per game (ouch).

Are we sure we wont get a price cut announcment for other territories as well? Since TGS is targeted mainly towards japanese audience it was ment that we were going to get only information about the Japanese launch.

They\'ve since clarified that they were "confortable" with the pricing they had set in the rest of the world.
