>> U.S. adults are more likely to purchase a Sony PlayStation 3 that plays Blu-ray discs and has Internet access for $399 (11%) or an original Blu-ray disc player without connectivity for the same price (10%) versus a new Blu-ray disc player with Internet for $500-$650 (4%) <<

Of course consumers will go for the cheaper technology. You need a poll to tell you that?

The problem is that the poll doesn't take into account cheaper blu-ray players on the market and in the pipeline, such as the $299 Magnavox sold at Wallmart. Even if you buy into the results, you have to acknowledge they're out of date.

Call it, friendo.
