I like the idea a lot and as much as I would love to not pay for the Blu-Ray player and shave even more cost off the unit there is no chance in hell they would ever give the choice to remove the Blu-Ray drive.
There are 2 reasons:
1) Its one of their best weapons in the "format war"
2) Developers would shit a brick, and they would either ignore the people without BR -OR- make all their games for the smaller format and essentially kill the advantage that people who do have BR have payed for -OR- stop developing new projects for the console altogether.
I would love to buy my own without BR, but it would could serious issues for Sony and their 3rd (actually 1st & 2nd part also) Developers.
