I don't think he's talking about hacking the PS3. $99 kinda makes the PS3 having a Blu-Ray player built in a "so what" issue. Kinda like how in 2003 nobody really cared that the PS2 was also a DVD player since you could buy one for cheap and alot of regular everyday households had one for every TV.
Plus, $199 xbox + $99 Blu-Ray player is basically the same thing as a PS3, except $100 less.

Yeah basically. I really can't tell the difference between the 360 and PS3 besides with one you have to pay to play online and the other you don't.
I think sony and microsoft both screwed up by releasing multiple sku's though. I don't know the difference between the $200 and $300 xbox, is it just wireless controllers and a larger hard drive?
This current generation of consoles kind of sucks cause you really do need an HDTV to be able to take advantage of it. HDTV's are getting pretty cheap now so that's good, but the cost of a new tv and a new console is expensive.

Well I know on Boxing Day (or well Black Friday in US) and like Superbowl week stores offer tons of HDTV bundles that usually include a PS3 even and a surround sound system for around $2000, more or less dependin' on the surround sound and TV of course. Not bad for a first set up, it includes everythin'.

No, not necessarily. Sony would rather make a profit for the PS3.
