bestbuy already ran specials at 199, granted they were close out, but expect to see it this christmas, they need a critical install base to over come dvd sells, so my money is on 199 players, crappy ones but still blue ray players for 199

 

PS3 has the best quality Blu Ray player on the market and it is also a gaming console.

 

 So what.  At Christmas what is going to sell like mad (if any Blu Ray players do) will be the units about $200. All those people that have purchased a middle tier HDTV (Vizio, Insignia, etc.) arent going to give a damn that the PS3 Blu Ray playback is slightly better.  They are going to choose what is $200 cheaper.  And no because some Blu Ray players are at $200 price point doesnt drop the PS3 considerably.  DVD drives will still be much cheaper than Blu Ray drives.
