You're dreaming if you think the PS3 will live up to those expectations.
Has everyone forgotten what a crappy DVD player the PS2 is? Why would we
expect differently from the PS3? This thing is a video game console
first, movie playback a distant second priority.

If Sony intends to sell a 1080p-capable, fully-functional, excellent
quality Blu-Ray/video game device all for $399, how will Samsung,
Pioneer, and the other manufacturers (including Sony themselves) ever
sell a single dedicated Blu-Ray player at twice to 5 times the price?
Why would those other manufacturers ever join the Blu-Ray consortium if
they knew that Sony was going to swoop in and slaughter them at retail?
What is in it for them?

Either the PS3 is going to be much more expensive than people are
speculating, or it's going to be a functionally-disabled, lousy quality
Blu-Ray device just like the PS2 is for DVDs.

You can't have it both ways. It isn't feasible.
