Hang in there cheif. I believe someone from Sony already hinted that the BDPs300 could very well be that price by christmas! And it's a hell of a player!

Roll back the clock 20 years and the PS3 gaming system may have swayed the balance for me. Now that I'm in my late 40's the gaming issue doesn't hold much interest to me. Now if it could handicap sports betting for me...well you have a sale.

I rarely use my ps3 for gaming, but the downloadable content rocks, HD trailers, games etc.! plus it's the most future proof unit, it's the fastest out there and it has a built in Hard-drive for storage, you can stream pics, songs and music from your PC and it has wi-fi & blue tooth built in!
It's way more than a game system!
