> b) if you compare how expensive pure blueray-players will be then the ps3 isn't expensive at all
The big thing is perceived value, I'm not going to be buying any blue ray movies any time soon, so a blue ray versus a regular old DVD is no difference. Same thing with betamax back in the old days, although the picture was better hardly anyone bought it since the picture was not that much better to make it worth the price difference. (I did buy a used betamax cheap though, well worth it then)
