I just had to make a thread saying this because I've seen like 4 posts in the last 30 minutes saying that the blu-ray player is free.

Okay, I see, so you don't have to buy an HD-DVD player, and thus you don't have to increase the price.

Too bad PS3 game's also cost money, unlike 360 games---oh **** wait...well I guess you don't have to buy games either :?

sony added blu ray for a reason. they are going to make games out of blue ray cuzz its better than what their being made out of right now which i think is still dvd or hddvd. but blu ray is included in the price, its just a drive not the actual player, the reason a standalone cost so much is cuz it was made just for that it doesnt make any sense but thats why they cost so much

It might be better, but that's not the main reason they included it. They did it to win the format war.

It just happened to be a nice bonus.

standalone BR players cost so much bc companies need to make a profit opn it, unlike the ps3 where sony sells it for less then it cost them to make it, sony makes money on games

Of course it is not free, it is given with the PS3 for a very cheap price.

a cow is someone you really likes the ps3 and believes its the best (i think) people in this forum give names to everyone

360 guys are lemmings i think, there are reason behind it
