Personally I wouldn't mind those prices one bit, and I think it's smart to have staggered pricing. I would certainly go for the more expensive model if it included BC. A bigger HDD would just be a bonus after that (I hate having to change TV settings or have multiple boxes so this is big, but I also want Sony to do well so I understand that they don't want it in every unit because of cost). I think we have an opportunity for SSDs in the later models of next gen once their prices come down and that could drastically lower failure rates.
