That would be a smart move by Sony. Last years console shortage hurt them for the Christmas season. An inticing price and BD SM3 (like the film or not, it will sell well) will help them gain some ground.

I like that Spiderman 3 cover, better than the other one

At $400.00 my brother might be getting a PS3 for Christmas but I'm keeping that Spiderman 3 if my box-set has the other cover art.

I got a PS3 for x-mass last year. I hope lots of other get to know the joy of PS3 x-mass goodness.

i had the ps3 until it broke and then got the sony s300. i like it but i have really been wanting the ps3 back. this would be what it would take for me to get it, but im getting the spidy 3pack when it comes out. On another note, Sony must, must start to put blu-ray in with the ps3 so everyone knows how big of a dif there is and that the ps3 can play blu-ray. they also should make commercials letting people know about the blu-ray capability's of the ps3. just my thoughts on how they could really kick some ass.

At $400, may be worth it to have a 2nd ps3 for the bedroom!

Go Blu!

I agree completely. I bought the PS3 specifically to play blu rays, but I think there is a lot of people out there that don't look at the PS3 as a blu ray player. I think marketing specifically for that could help quite a bit.

If Sony wants to gain mass market share, they (or someone) needs to come out with a BLU player that is NOT a video game system. Sorry, but the mass market doesn't venture to the VG area.

Focusing on VGers is fine at the moment, but HD DVD has inexpensive standalone players that the mass market can see and get without wondering why they need to be a VG system that they don't want.

The job is simple enough. Come out with a reasonable priced standalone player that comes with 2-3 movies--and not the mail-in crap. Let buyers pick them at the store (and compensate the store) or pack them in if you must.

My biggest fear is this Holiday season. HD DVD is set up brilliantly to score a huge blow. It will be at the magic price point for mass market adoption, just like the DVD was when it finally overcame VHS. No, it's not a quality issue, it's a price one.

I'm with you buddy. At that price, I will definately be buying my second PS3 for my bedroom. Right now I have a 37 inch LCD in my livingroom.

I'm putting that tv in my bedroom and then I'll be purchasing a larger tv for the livingroom.

I agree with you. People (the lame ones) only look at the price and then make their decisions. They don't look at quality, features or long term staying power. For god sake, I still now people who only use VHS to watch movies.
