@martijnve, I will quote myself.

Why not? IF BR were the way of the future, and the PS3 is the cheapest BR player in the market, then people would buy the PS3 for their high-def viewing. Granted, it may take a few more years for people to start upgrading to BR, but, again, IF PS3 were the cheapest BR player, then PS3 sales would be high, because it would be the more economical BR player in the market. And, as a bonus, it doubles as a computer. Oh, and plays games.

Blue Ray player, $508.... Its on sale, but I'm pretty sure there will be some players under $500 before christmas.

Also, it's pretty impossible for the PS3 to be the cheapest Blu-ray player. It has all that extra crap that normal players don't need (wi-fi, Cell processor, etc) which really boosts up the price. Its like the PS2. Sure DVD players used to cost the same as a PS2, but now PS2 is $129 and DVD players are $29.
