I hope this is a general price reduction and not just a Seasonal Holiday "Sale."

I don't think it's going to be just seasonal. Prices on ebooks dropped everywhere, not just at the Sony store. With the new lower prices everywhere I don't think anyone will want to be the one to raise prices again, unless there's a very good reason to expect their customers will be loyal in spite of higher prices. I suppose DRM might do that.
