This the the reason:

TOKYO (Reuters) - Sony Corp. is removing a chip from the European version of its new PlayStation 3 (PS3) game console, a move that cuts costs but means users cannot play some of their old games

Yes and no.

Yes...They are being sold at less than cost, hoping to be carried by the PS2. Bad strategy.

No...they are going for $599, not $1000. Cost is around $800, so the MSRP is about $200 less. $1000 would be a profit of $200.

Hope this clears it up.

Blessings
