For the first time Sony's Blu-ray players http://doiop.com/they-suck
are cheaper than its PlayStation 3 console http://doiop.com/garbage
after the company announced a $100 cut off the price of the BDP-S300
player to $499. The move begs the question: can Sony now afford not to
also slash the price of PS3?
...By cutting the price of the BDP-S300, Sony has in effect severed the
link between the PS3 and Blu-ray players. If a video enthusiast just
wants a Blu-ray player, the PS3 is no longer an option because it's now
too expensive.
In effect, Sony has just kicked out one of the legs supporting the
table of its still struggling PS3 business. With both Nintendo's Wii
and Microsoft's Xbox 360 walloping the PS3 at the cash register, a lack
of exclusive PS3 titles to choose from and still plenty of grumbling
from gamers at the price, having one less reason for consumers to buy
its next-gen console is something Sony can ill afford...
