At same price with blu-ray and HDD. Upgrading HDD on PS3 is so easier. It is no brainier.

You didn't even glance over the OP? How would have they released the ps3 as is for $399? They've just started making profit recently.

I think this thread is pretty.... stupid. You take away Blu'ray and Cell processor, 2 of it's main selling points and expect it to do better? How is that even possible?!? Let's take away the motion controls for the Wii while were at it so the PS3 CAN BE NUMBER 1 LIKE IT SHOULD BE!?!?!?!

there was a recent "what if" thread about if Wii hadn't had motion controls.  There was also one on if the Gamecube had had Wii tech in it.  Look try to have fun with these scenarios it's obvious that they're just for fun.
