With the PS3 you don't just get a Blu-ray/DVD player. You get a 60 GB blu-ray hard drive, compatibility with PS games, four USB ports, Blue tooth, a cell processor that is so powerful Stanford scientists are using it for protein folding renderings, and a built-in media center.

That's a tremendous value. Even for the 40 gig model at $399.

And I would say that early adopters are not just paying more for the technology, but for the companies to recoup their R&D expenses in getting these products to market.
