"People will be looking to pick up bluray players for christmas with their newly purchased HDTV's and also looking for presents for kids ect which is usually some sort of gaming machine"

If people are interested in BR player, they can pick one up for less than $150 this black Friday. Last year the PS3 was the cheapest BR player around and it got a nice boost from it. Now the standalone BR players are way cheaper than the PS3. So much so that a 360 + BR player is actually cheaper than a PS3.

So, I don't think Sony can build on a BR boost this year in the current competitive landscape.

It should stll give a boost for the month of december, because not everyone will be picking up a bluray player on that day. Were I live the bluray players are still $299 and the bd live enabled blurays are $399 and up. So therefore people who want to get the latest bluray player which we all know the sales people will be pushing, the PS3 is still in that price range, plus it plays games making it the more reasonable purchase.
