Picking up a Blu-ray player at a great price? Thank the PS3.

Lol. How is the blu-ray in PS3 at a great price? Here at amazon.co.uk the PS3 is £300 while a very good Sony blu-ray is £159.99. What do you think a person that wants blu-ray will be buying? At launch I'll admit the PS3 was very nicely priced at £425 for a blu-ray but now price have come thundering down.

 

 You misunderstand the thread.  This is about the economy of scale of including a Blu-ray drive in every PS3 leading to driving down the price of standalone players to the sub-$200 level we're seeing today.  It's not about the value for the dollar of buying a PS3.
