My take on all of this is that that Sony should of left the BD out of the machine and just offered another SKU down the road with it in the system.
The PS3 would of been out now, the cost would of been lower, Sony wouldn't be taking a big of a loss on the units and mostly they wouldnt be hurting the BD stand alone players. They could of offered another model down the road with a BD drive or add on unit ala 360.
On an interesting note there was an article that I saw today saying that Nintendo was not sure if they were going to add DVD support to the Wii. Really with DVD players costing $30+ they're getting to the point of when we had tape re-winders to reduce the wear and tear on our VCRs. I see in expensive DVD players as being the same to a high costing gaming console in that why have all that wear and tear on the unit when a low costing unit can do the same thing.
