Your SACD statements still make a negative impression on me, so maybe you need to study writing :-)For small High End electronics companies, the recent years have been difficult, with CE, SACD, Rohs, WEEE, class D and now Blu ray.
Not to mention new versions of HDMI, and the yearly fees.Because I sold GamuT in 2003, I live happily without the above, so you cannot tempt me :-)
You ignore, that the SONY PS3 is a game console. USD 50 DVD players do not play games.
A relevant alternative would be the much praised oppo DVD multiformat player at USD 149 and a X-box 360 game console at USD 299. Total USD 448 versus SONY PS3 at USD 499.
This is the choice consumers make today. And for the many millions of owners of many PS2 games at USD 50 for each game, the choice is clearly SONY PS3, because it can play their old games.
This is the reality of mainstream today.SONY can sell PS3 at a loss, because SONY get money from the game companies.
