IGN: "The Value of the PlayStation 3."

Americans pay $300 US for standalone blu ray players? It'd cheaper for you to buy a blu ray player from Australia for $200 Au and ship it over.

Infact,

$200 Au for the player plus $34 Au dollars shipping (assuming a BluRay player is 2kg)

There we go, you can get a blu ray player for $154 US.
