Decided on Blu-Ray today (somewhat)

[BTBuck1]

So today I did some thinking. As an employee of Best Buy I can get the Sony Blu Ray for 5% over cost. Initially I was all Gung-Ho to buy it, but then I realized it's a "constrained" sku for the first 3 months and that I'll have to pay the full $999.99+tax if I want it on launch. Now, had it come out say "june" like it was originally slated...I may have went ahead and done it, And just chalked the $two hundred some odd dollars (almost 3) up on the board as a loss for being an early adopter. Now with the release dates pushed to October 25th I got to thinking, PS3 is like 3 weeks later...PS3 is getting purchased either way, and originally I thought i'd be able to afford to probably do both...(5 months between purchases) but with the delays & with the holidays comming & all, it's a bit steep and I don't think I want to make my family suffer on "living it up" for xmas just so I can get my BR fix on

example:
"Sorry we have to have top ramen and water for xmas dinner hun, but we can watch a movie in "HD" as long as the electricity doesnt get turned off today"

So i've decided to make things easier, practical and not emotional I will start off with the PS3. Now i probably won't be able to find one on launch day..But I finally got a 360 at Costco a couple weeks after and plan to do the same type of thing as I love their return policy.

Then after the holidays cool down, and the sku is more readily available and comes off constrainment I can then pick up the BDP-S1 as planned.
I'll still be able to enjoy Blu-Ray, My Holiday and still get the BDP-S1 at the discounted rate I intended to pay after x-mas when the dust settles and the bank account is back up. Not to mention i can get my game on too! W00t.

who knows, with the money i'm saving maybe i'll swoop an HDDVD drive for my 360 if it's reasonably priced (under $200) & a good performer
What do you guys think? good rational? what are you folks going to do?
