RE: that argument cuts both ways

>> Apparently, some who keep spewing PS3 sales figure DON'T get it. <<

We get it. We also get the concept of an "installed base" of players compatible with blu-ray, and more importantly, that's what content providers (and investors) notice too. A lot of folks with DVD players rent rather than buy, but the fact that there is a DVD player in their house is of importance.

>> First they are going to have to figure out that the PS3 IS a BD player. <<

Your assumption is that they're buying it for games and online play. First of all, PS3 games are blu-ray. Secondly, have you even been to the PS3 store online, which is automatically connected to all PS3s? It is a treasure trove of trailers for blu-ray releases. Regardless of whatever threads or articles you read, it's just a matter of time before it becomes obvious to even the most obtuse PS3 owner that the PS3 is a blu-ray machine.
