B) I wonder if he included the cost of the BR drive in that $600-$650 price range? He was arguing about power in that response. rocketpig?
No, that wasn't including the BD drive. That would bump the PC to ~$300 more than the 80GB PS3.
On the other hand, at that point you would have a fully functional multimedia hub that could double as a DVR with 500GB of storage.
My point isn't to bash the PS3; after all, I own one. I'm simply pointing out that it's not the powerhouse MikeB is talking it up to be. For a little more, you can get a PC that can do more things faster and better than the PS3 ever could.
BTW, this is what the PC specced out to:
2.4ghz Core2Duo
4GB DDR2
500GB HDD
512MB GeForce 8800
