Everything you say is true, but the fact is that it is a great price
even if it were simply a Blu-Ray player.
A "Mid-Range Mac" and a Blu-Ray player together would cost a *lot*
more than the PS3.
Plus you get to play with Linux on it, no extra cost :-)
Talk about the PS3's "problems" all you want, it's still one of the
best hardware deals out there.
