Price is irrelevant. Go to your local mall (oh, sorry, you're a Brit).
Well, imagine going to your local mall in suburban America. You will
regularly see guys carting off 60 inch tvs into the flatbed of their
pickups. They are spending $3000 to $5000 on tvs -- they're not going to
cry about buying a media supercomputer for $800...in fact, you could sell
the PS/3 as a big screen accessory since it's only 20% the price of the
bigger screen tvs.
