I don't know if bluray counts as "specs" but that is the sole reason that console is as expensive as it is. Sony got something wrong along the way when they were calculating the power of the PS3, adjsuted for inflation.
PS3 specs while impressive on paper have yet to show any visual advantage over its competition...and when you consider consoles one year later start...it really makes one wonder how things turned out as they did. Xbox and GC demolish the PS2 when it comes to specs, just like PS2 demolished the dreamcast. these things were evident from the moment those consoles launched.
I think sony needs to stop bundling the proprietary media formats that they own with future consoles. UMD was a huge mistake for PSP considering flash mamory is so cheap and Bluray is consting them for PS3.
