Ok, but on the other side, assuming you were already interested in Blu-Ray, would you pay $600 for it? Especially if it also played Playstation Games? I don't think $600 is an unreasonable price point from the perspective that this device does two new things.
However, I doubt it will do both things well. I have to see what the gen 1 Blu-Ray players from Samsung and Sony do to make a fair comparison, but I would bet this Blu-Ray implementation will be slightly less featured.
This isn't the same as Sony using the DVD format to leverage the PS2 in the console wars; this is Sony using the PS3 to leverage Blu-Ray in the format wars.
So, lets assume that the gameplay aspects of the 360 and the PS3 are equal(Yes, an assumption). If we price those aspects the same, the Blu-Ray portion of the PS3 costs you $200.
Would you pay $200 for the least feature set first gen Blu-Ray player? And since we're here at HDBeat, let's assume that you have an HD set.
