Not sure how they can justfy $700 for this thing, why not go to walmart and pick up a PS3 for $299 (Use the $100 gift card for food or whatever). There was a report from the Nikko Citigroup saying that Sony had gotten the PS3 production costs down to $400. So how much can the DMP-BD50 cost to make? $300 tops? I can't imagine Panasonic selling many of these. Maybe this initial high MSRP is to make it seem like an amazing deal at $299 come november.
