I can buy my 505 for 275, I'd be interested in what the 600 has to offer extra (save diskspace).
Sony hasn't really been direct by changing their prices, seeing that 4GB of flash should cost less than $15 for them to install in a device (compared to $7 for 512MB).
3 years ago with the release of the 500,512MB of flash was very expensive. I wonder why the extra $25. Wifi? But we lose 2 cardreaders over the 700 (the SD and MMC cardslots).

Perhaps wifi also required for an additional extension battery?
Anyways, there's place enough inside the device to do so.
