ISuppli found that Sony was able to cut manufacturing costs with the new-generation PS3 by changing and integrating some key components. The latest model contains about 2,820 individual parts, compared with 4,048 in the previous generation.

Newer PS3 has cheaper components

Among the major changes in componentry is a new version of IBM (NYSE: IBM)'s Cell Broadband engine, which serves as the console's central processing unit. The new technology costs $46.46, down nearly 28% from the original component. In addition, the new version of Nvidia's Reality Synthesizer, which acts as the graphic processing unit for the PS3, costs more than 30% less, or $58.01, iSuppli said.

So we can expect a price drop in 2009? Glad that it's cheaper but this makes me glad that I bought my 60GB version.
