I would say that maybe they don't want a price advantage on Blu ray.
Its as much a psychological move as it is a move to capture the Blu ray market segment. Its a halo effect thing - They can give the perception of value for the Pro and Arcade SKUs by keeping the price of the Elite high and giving it Blu ray to increase its value. Its to make people think that the Pro model is of the same quality and capability of the PS3 but without the pricetag for the Blu ray. Im not saying that they aren't close in capabilities, but sometimes its good to play on perceptions.
Tease.
