I also heard isupply goes off what the part goes for (or would go for if it were availble) at retail. So basically doesnt take into consideration bulk discounts.

No way... where can you buy 512 MB of memory for $10 ? Or a Blu-ray drive for $66 ?

Full Blu-ray drive for 60$ - price for consumer and made for PC so with it's own case etc.

BR drive for ps3 bought in bulk should be at least few $ cheaper.

 

No offense, but you're a bit late to the party. The discussion moved on quite a bit since that post...

In the end some of these items look too expensive (for example the BD drive), while others look too cheap in comparison. I think iSuppli is full of it, and I don't know if the real cost is above or below what they claim.
