Playstations and Blu-Ray players

Let's assume that the PS3 will launch for about the same price as the XBox 360 (and anything else would be suicide) at around $450.

And let's also assume that the prices floating around for Blu-Ray players is reasonable accurate and that they'll be starting at $600.

Now, as the PS3 will have a Blu-Ray player built in, who the hell is going to go into competition with Sony by releasing their own player, when they will be beaten so badly on price?

I'd be surprised. Especially considering that the 360 cost $715 per unit upon release
. And that uses a DVD drive. Which costs, maybe $10-$20 to manufacture?
