The rumor, as predicted by analysts, is that the 40GB SKU would intro at $399 and the 80GB unit would drop to $499. The 60GB unit, with the more expensive to produce hardware based emulation, would be completely removed. They've already stopped production on this unit, so this is a given. The reasoning for the $100 difference is the same as before, more hard drive space and the Motorstorm game bundled, not just hard drive space. The only factor that would cause an eBay price to be higher than MSRP is low retail availability. Anyone that wants a PS3 can find one in the store, thus the eBay price is slightly less than retail, just like everything else on eBay that can be found reliably on the shelf. Only if there were supply problems would the PS3's eBay price actually be higher than retail.
