And for the majority of people who already have a computer and don't want bluray? You're badly missing the point here, the argument isn't that the PS3 can be seen as a good value, it's whether Sony has made the PS3 in a way that that most consumers don't view it as a good value.
I think you missed the point of my previous message. The PS3 was designed to last a decade as a high performance gaming platform. In Sony's, developers' and my view Blu-Ray is crucial for the long run, not having to deal with game development sacrifices.
Including Blu-Ray movie playback software makes sense as an additional feature, as the Blu-Ray drive is already inside the PS3. But its usefulness is secondary compared to gaming.
