Your question are on the mark and you are correct that it is not reasonable
to assume the PS3 will be a full featured 1080p DVD player selling for
399.00. But this is what Sony by way of what they have said and not said,
lead some to speculate. Bottom line if the price and features are close to
what is speculated I'm in for one and it will never see game use as I would
be happy with it's value just as a DVD player.
