But it's not. I don't want bluray. Why should it be worth $200 to me when I don't want it? I'm not buying a blu-ray player, because I don't want a blu-ray player. I'm looking to buy a games console. The blu-ray is a non-factor in my purchase.

But that's like me saying that a diamond should be worth a penny (or free) because I can care less about it. If you're saying that you believe that a PS3 is worth $199 I understand, but all I'm saying is that based on the current prices of things, it doesn't make sense that the PS3 should be valued at only $199 when you look at its features. Even if you don't care about the other features, currently the PS3 is being sold with those features, and Sony spent money adding those features in the factory.

THis still means absolutely nothing when consumers determine value. If they don't care about a feature, it isn't worth the money it cost to produce.
