I only am interested in these devices as gaming machines so if they're pushing other features (DVD playback, Home Theater Extender, etc.) at a higher price they're only limiting the appeal of the device for me. Also at $99 I will buy pretty much any system ... | Just courious. You would buy a BluRay player for your TV for 800$ and buy a PS3 for 300$, but you wouldnt buy a PS3 WITH BluRay player for 600$? The Wii can surf the web. Sell it quick! It multi-tasks!

Yeah, but if a BR player broke, I'd be out a BR player while it gets fixed or a cheaper PS3. as it stands, if the BR drive on ps3 breaks, I'd be out a game system and a BR player. btw, the current going price for BR player is ~$500. This is the reason I don't buy a TV/DVD player either.
As for price of a PS3. At $400-$450, I'd consider it if games I'm interested in is out for it. At $300, I'd buy it for a BR player while I wait for games.
