PS3's advantage of being an all in one unit will be wiped out. Tho, realistically, I'm expecting the integration to happen around Sept/Oct in order to drive X-mas sales. . Zephyr wont have HD-DVD integrated .By the way ,even if it only adds a bigger hard drive and HDMI port it will be more expensive and lose some of its precious price advantage . I think Microsoft will stop producing the Core, get the premium down to Core's Price tag and get the Zephyr to premium's price.

Probably ,so they will lose the opportunity to reduce price .By then the PS3 will have a price cut to 350-450 and the price differences will become very small .....and the PS3 will still have the BR advantage over the HDDVD-less Zephyr .
