I'm pulling this from another thread:

Sony can't simply slash its prices like Microsoft has recently. And Blu-ray is partly to blame. Billy Pidgeon, an analyst at market researcher IDC points out: "Blu-ray licensees would be threatened by pricing the PS3 below stand-alone Blu-ray players. The PS3 is a bit challenged on that side."


other than that, I would pick one up. I'm pretty sure Sony would be hella constained with supply though.

Huh? The PS3 was the cheapest Blu Ray player on the market for a while, and is now currently one of the cheapests.

Or has this "analyst" forgotten that BR players used to cost over $1000

 

This is just a search query for "Blue Ray Players" at Wal Mart. The PS3 is def not one of the cheapest any longer even though for a long time it was. Though it's hard to argue why, if you wanted a Blue Ray player, you wouldnt get a PS3 for just an average of 100$ more give or take. Some of these players are also made by Sony.
