In response to "I'm not real into this kind of thing...gaming or sales or battles of the platforms...but it is amazing to me how badly" by Jim

They really screwed it on the price point, imho.

Granted, people are buying them as BluRay players ... + a game system for a bit more.

And over the course of the next few years, if BluRay players don't come down in price, it's a good deal to get a gaming system on top of the BluRay player for an extra $100. Otherwise, $400+ is just too damn expensive for a gaming system. (Plus $60 each for games.)

They put a lot of faith, IMO, on Blu-Ray being a monster out of the gate. - TFox Feb 13, 06:30 2
