This price drop should be attractive to PS3 owners with non-backwards compatible systems who've been yearning to play PS2 titles (both back catalogue or new games - as Sony continues to produce good quality games for the PS2). As well, for parents and casual gamers, this becomes yet another alternative in the search for a gaming system that offers a fantastic price point as well as an extensive library of games. It will be quite interesting to monitor the sales of PS2 from this point forward.
