The PS3 is big and ugly(IMO), and requires alot of airflow-more than the standalones. It also doesn't have an IR remote. The Sony 300 goes for $500, the new Samsung 1200 goes for $500, Panny's new model (same as old with updated FW) goes for $600. Samsung is coming out with 2 more models in another month or so. Sony will have a new standalone in a few months. There are lots of options out there, even for BD.
That said, there is a good chance that Mom and Dad will get an HD DVD player instead. Besides being cheaper, alot will have to do with preference of movies. The two formats tend to appeal to different target audiences. Also, right *now* there are more titles available on HD DVD than on BD, though that can change down the road.
Lots of goodies coming out down the road. :-)

For the Xbox or PS3 IMHO. :)
No doubt though that if prices of HD DVD players come down, it could influence some buyers on the fence between the two formats. Sitting on the sidelines though wouldn't be a bad place to be.
As I stated in an earlier thread, prices wars only confuse consumers even more when there is a format battle. It guarantees nothing.
Would you give kids a $500-600 game console that takes $60 games? Gosh.
Then let them take their game console into their room and hook it up to their SDTV.
Why on Earth would price wars confuse anybody? Now I'm confused.
