"compainies get the product right form day one"

That's not the case with the PS3: firmware updates on the PS3 are usually for giving the user more and/or better features -- it's not solely used to fix what was messed up or not implemented properly. For how many stand-alones can the same be said? All you have to do is look at the PS3's capabilities at launch and compare them to what it can do today. It's all been done in firmware, not by the introduction of a "new and improved" model. Compare the cost of a new player (or maybe even 2 - 3 new players since the PS3 launced in November 2006) to the cost of the PS3's free firmware updates and I don't think an Economics degree is needed to see the light.

The PS3 is an evolving machine: firmware updates were part of its evolution since Day 1.
