I agree with 'joeorc' that the decision to use the cell processor was probably a poor one due to the excessive cost of the processor versus the minimal gain. If Sony had gone with off-the-shelf options like MS, they would've had a much better chance this generation. That being said, the BR player was still a huge expense, especially when it launched in 2006. What were they going for back then, a few hundred $US ? Compare that with about $20 for a DVD9 player. Hard to make the math work....
Hardware is only a means to enjoy great games!
