Which IMHO would be a very idea if I were Sony! :)

Actually it is a bit scary and while I have no specific stats to back this up other than reading through forums is that the PS3 (which would be regarded as a gaming console if a poll was done with J6P) may actually be more reliable as a BD player than the standalones at this point!

Bundling a game console with BD at this point hasn't exactly worked but that may be more still due to the price and the games not being all that great. But the PS3 is actually a very good piece of hardware for the buck considering the fact other BD player cost as much without half the features.

On another note and a horse of a different color, Sony tried to bundle SACD with DVD players and I'm not sure that went over well.
