Nice increase in volume. If new buyers are anything like myself, they bought it as a Blu-Ray player (and hate the Sony remote) and happened to pickup some games too.
Now that stand alone players (that can be flashed to profile 2.0 like Sony's own BDP-350) can be had for nearly $100 less, we should see a clear line between people buying a PS3 as a Blu-Ray player vs a stand alone.
Heck, if I hadn't finally locked down the LPCM audio setup between my PS3 and receiver, I might have even picked up a BDP-350 for $179 on Black Friday just so I could bitstream lossless audio.
Any bets on all consumer sales numbers being sharply down for Q4 08?
