I think you said it a very long time ago if not then i spotted it 2-3 months ago for pre-order on amazon and compusa for a Nov 17 release date and even posted it on i think one of the NPD results with I think a . Either its a slow news day and you just post whatever or your just really really slow.

If you have a 40gb, you shouldn't have ever paid more than $399. That was introduced last year in Nov as their 'holiday smasher'. The only 40gb that was $599 was the MGS4 Limited Edition gunmetal version. ....But, yes, I still have my original 60gb that I paid $599 for, and am not sad about it at all. It's now stuffed with a 320gb hard drive. ....Which is really the "best deal" out there for people: get a 40gb model and immediately replace it with a 160-320gb hard drive for another $100. And $399 is not a bad price for a supercomputer, even with a 2gb hard drive (considering how easy it is to replace the hard drive with an off-the-shelf SATA ---unlike some OTHER game consoles).
