What prevents people from buying a PS3?

So I've just been wondering that. I thought, personally, that I got my money's worth (especially since I bought one of the no longer being made 60gb versions), but I'd like to know why. Would people buy a PS3 if the following happened:

Price: reduced to $350
Memory: 80gb
HDMI capable
Wifi capable
Comes with Rumble-pack SIXAXIS
Removed internal Blu-Ray player
Removed compact flash ports

Would you buy this version of the PS3? Or would the console's current roster of games still deter you anyway? I mean, unlike the 360, PS3's definately have a good track record of not breaking, or getting anything similar to the RROD, that counts for something, doesn't it?

1.the high price

2.Lack of good exclusive games and I dont count PC because I dont pc game

1) high price

2) lack of exclusives

3) brand loyalty

1) the price of the console

2) lack of games,even if the game is both for the 360 and ps3 most likely the 360 version comes out first.

Umm if you took out the Blu-Ray player, it couldn't play any games since they are all on BR discs...think man.

Unknowing.

I don't buy a PS3 for the fact that its games don't interest me and those that do have been available on other platforms long before.

Take away the BR?

Sir, Blu-Ray is the only reason to buy a PS3 over a Wii or 360 right now?

PS3 can't and wouldn't be the same without it.

I wouldn't buy a PS3 without BR coz then it would'nt play PS3 GAMES!
