bad timing

The Sony PSX is being price-slashed throughout Japan -- about two months after I bought mine. I bought the silver 5100 model, and am very happy with it, but I'd be even happier if it had cost about US$150 less than I paid. One wonders how Sony will position this for its eventual non-Japanese release, as it has been plagued by poor public-image and bad marketing, which have resulted in poor sales, since its introduction in the latter half of 2003.
