From 59800 yen -> 49980 yen
From no HDMI port to HDMI port
Sony's TGS presence made itself known with a double whammy of goodness (omg, impossible) from the comapny, first off the price of the system has gone down, to combat the Wii price just mentioned last week? Maybe, but a smart move from Sony nonetheless, it now costs a respectable 49980 yen (about £230) , which is a great deal considering now the only real difference between the two packs are wireless out of the box and a bigger HDD. 20GB is now a worthwhile purchase (not even confirmed whether price cut will be in western areas) and one that everyone should get instead of the premium pack.
HOWEVER, as reports stated awhile back, Sony have started production in a ratio of 80/20 for 60GB/20GB packs, thus meaning, people that want the 20GB may be in a shocker that there won't be enough to go around.. thus those people that really want a PS3 on first day or so, may have to by the much more expensive 60GB version.
The price cut does make the comapny lose more money than it already had per console sold, so Sony has to bank on this to be a long-term investment, its definetely a worthwhile future-proof machine, but so is the X-box 360 which has gathered a bit of momentum in TGS with nice showings of Trusty Bell, Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey that stole some Japanese gamer's hearts.
