Note that Sony US announced two models: one with a 250 GB hardrive and the other with a 500 GB one (link). Sony Europe announced a 12 GB model and an other one with a 500 GB HD (link).
12 GB seems quite suprising for modern games (GTA IV: 3.5 GB required... you won't install many games !) and sony pushing for the use of playstation network an the playstatin store...
I really enjoyed Blizzard games up to Starcraft included. But then WoW was out, and in a same way that many WoW players seem disconnected from reallity, it disconnected Blizzard from reallity.
They now live in a world where millions of people are giving them 10 bucks a month in order to connect to a MMORPG, making them feel that if a player buys a game that he can play for 18 months, he will be willing to pay $180, that no LAN connection is no big deal, etc.
They just do not live in the same world as we do. The main reason I won't play Starcraft 2 by the way is not about money or LAN, but on a lower level: no linux port.

"the temperature on its sun-facing side is around 4220 degrees Fahrenheit." For anyone using the SI, this is about 2327 degrees Celsius
I was just about to make the exact same comment ! I find this kind of twisted way to gain free publicity *really* annoying !
Nice comment, but there is a flaw in your thinking: you forgot that it is not the 6 years old that are buying, but their parents.
