Unless you have quite a bit of people, even on this forum, that own a ps3 specifically or primarily for watching bd movies. For the price and the upgradeability of the ps3, it really isn't a poor choice at all, and make the deal a bit more long term.

how many times has it been stated standalone players has to privail if bd is gonna win this thing.

And standalone players have been selling well for blu-ray, and at prices much higher than the basement sales of the hda2/a3. But when the firesale isn't happening, the price points for the sony and samsung players are close. True, it's profile 1 and somewhat limited, but I wonder how many of those buyers want to buy trinckets off the internets or watch hours of PiP features anyways.

once the games start rolling out movie sales will fall off.
the fact is sony has known this all along,the ps3 has kept bd in the game.

I would argue that Sony positioned the ps3 to be more than a gaming machine this next generation. I would say that even hd-dvd fans recognized this when they called the ps3 a trojan horse. Looking at TV advertisements, I see lots of ads featuring the ps3 as a blu-ray player. Sony knows that it has millions of players that can be potential bd movie buyers. The ps3 was part of the game all along.

now we wait for profile 2.0,yet another bd player one has to buy if they want that feature.

Or if they are ps3 owners, they will already be ready to go.
