@ dbot, it is just habit, I prefer it to MS anyway, as that could be confused with MotorStorm... in some situations

Hah maybe in America, and ofc you can bring your PS3 to book store and start playing Killzone 2 online.

Lol. If you managed to do that, you'll be playing lagzone 2

This is one of the most non-sensical things I've heard. Production costs remain the same so the retail price would stay the same, except now Sony rips customers and charges for the dongle just to be able to utilise the built-in tech. Nice.
It's all about the game.
1. Warranty
2. Packaging
3. Cables
4. Controller
5. PS3 Unit
Or, they could move the PSU outside of the console, that would help reduce costs as the cooling unit could be smaller, and the casing could also shrink, along with packaging and transport costs. The new "slimline" model would also sell a bit better at the higher price.
Hmm, how about use an external power supply. You can simplify the packaging of the ps3 to make it smaller and cheaper cooling solution overall. It doesn't make sense to strip the bluray playback since the most of the money for that goes back to sony anyways. Of course getting better yields on the cell processor or RSX on a smaller die would help.
Edit: seems like SamuelR beat me to the punch.

As you can see from my post above yours, I agree that the PSU should be external; but better yields on a smaller die costs a lot in terms of R&D, funds that Sony don't really have.
The only hope, really, is for IBM to get the Cell on a smaller chip, and nVidia for the graphics chip.
"much like the MS DVD remote for DVD MOVIE playback. $25"
is this real????? the 360 can play dvd but you have to buy the US$25 remote control to do it???? my god what a ripoff, MS has fallen to a new level.

Hey Listen!
Only Wifi... it is so useless for console gaming....cable is the answer.
Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

I thought it may be defiance to this http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=63459
Thanks for the input, Jeff.
@rahda
I was referring to the XBOX 1 with the DVD remote. The original 360 didn't have an HDMI port, so you needed the VGA cable to support DVD upconvert though.
