So I figured, with the new news about the $499 PS3 having an HDMI port, it'd be interesting to see how many of those wanting to buy a PS3 at some point would choose the cheaper package. I stress 'wanting to buy' to fend off those who have written off the system already and will just post how wii60 will dominate or something.
In any case, I'll probably go for the cheaper one if I can find it. No need to have the extra crap they throw in for a hundred bucks more - HMDI was the only thing I really wanted anyhow.
For those who aren't sure what the difference is between the two packages, I'll refer you here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playstation_3#System_configuration
