That was my first thought when SCE announced 5" display.
There are video players currently on the market under $200 with OLED displays (albeit not 5"), so OEM suppliers can already produce them at mass consumer friendly prices.
But SCE has their high yield OEM source for OLED displays. I think they manufacture their own since they produced the first commercial OLED TV, the XEL-1 and continue to make press releases on in-company developments of the technology. As pioneers of the tech, it's practically a shoe-in that Sony will be its own OEM supplier for the OLED displays.
The GameStop $299 pre-order has me thinking that my original estimate of $299 for the base model is now the most likely MSRP.
