The blu-ray diodes cost has already dropped by $100.00 or so. They did cost OVER $100 a piece when the ps3 first came out, not they are around $7.00 a piece. That's HUGE savings from just one part.

Then why are BD players still retailing for the same price as a PS3?

 Because there is a 40% win calculated in (20% shop, 20% manufacturer).
