If you drop the system's price again ... you devalue Blu-ray as a format. All of a sudden, you're the same price as a system without it.
It's not a selling point anymore because the other guy is doing just fine without it.
not disagreeing with this at all. It's what they did with the PSP ... and you see how well that's going.
I agree with your points. But currently you are seeing prices of HD-DVD players go down alot. Not sure how true this is, just a rumor so far but i saw on Slickdeals how i believe the toshiba HD player will be $99 for a week only starting next week.
Honestly, when everything comes out in the wash, i'll probably own a PS3 with a blue-ray player and i'll have a HD-DVD player.
Also i'm not up to date with the PSP...i just saw the thread about the new one coming out but in regards to sales and stuff like that, i havent been much up to date with it....matter of fact up to date will all handhelds that are currently out.
