not really, they're actually taking a hit to profits when they sell each ps3. regular blu-ray players are about $1000 alone, while the ps3 has a 20-60GB HD depending on what price one you get, plus the costs of blu-ray and everything else in the console
they make money later on in the consoles life, and off the software when a console releases companies almost always take a hit when they sell it, but as development and production costs go down they begin to make a profit
I'll definitely buy it after a year its been released. The price would drop by then even though not a lot. My brother also going to pay for half of it.
I'm so going to regret this, but i'm gonna be waiting in line tonight...at 12:00pm, my EB games is doing some sort of event
