Yes, but when HD DVD players can be found for $199 (plus several movies for free upon purchase), $399 for a PS3, which at this point really is more of a BluRay player than it is a game unit, is still a difficult pill to swallow.
My comment mainly referred to ppl inetrested in bluray and not hd-dvd. however, you can also get free bluray movies with purchase of a bluray device like the ps3. I don't understand the point about the ps3 being mainly a bluray player. if you get an hd-dvd device a player IS all you get. I guess part of what it comes down to is what format you're interested in and if you're interested in the gaming aspect. with the format war going on being able to play fifa and madden once in a while is definitely added incentive.

Great! Only $350 more worth of price cuts before it gets into my price range. I can't wait!

agreed. I'm still not going to pay $400 for that monstrosity. get it closer to $199 and shrink it down a bit, then we are talking.

$400 actually seems like a decent price especially considering how much bluray players are going for.
