XDR 3.2Ghz main ram = VERY expensive. nvidia RSX = its should be the cheapest to make its should be 45nm by now. wifi and bluetooth = not expensive but cost extra $$. and blu ray drive, it diode alone its over 50$ etc. |
You're right with the Blu-Ray diode; it's around $50. Best Buy has Blu-Ray drives for computers that are around $50, maybe even less now... And rafichamp, Blu-Ray has SERIOUSLY fallen in price. It's not $200, it's around $50 or below right now. The highest price on the PS3 may be the Cell and and possibly the GPU (unless the die is smaller which would cost less).
