That's what the PS3 is.

Follow Ups:
"They probably want a media center that can support photos and music, as well as HD movies..."
They probably already have a USB cord for their digital camera or the pix burned on to a dvd. Most likely they own a cd player already too. And you expect them to shell out an extra $250+ to replace what they can already do?
As for the kids wanting a game console under the tree, going by present sales that would be a Wii not a PS3.

Sony Computer Entertainment has announced PlayTV, a device that, when coupled with a PS3, turns the machine into a full digital video recorder (DVR). The device, which currently doesn't have a price or release date, will feature two high definition TV tuners that will allow users to record and/or watch two separate HD video streams on their PS3s.
The add-on will of course make use of the PSP connectivity by allowing users to record HD or SD shows on their PS3s, and then watch them on their PSPs. And because PlayTV is part of the PlayStation 3 family, it will be fully upgradeable with new features through PlayStation Network.

Ethernet port, lots of memory, DVR.
Just what the world needs, a MORE expensive game console.

No matter how many times you call it a game console, the PS3 is a media center. That includes HD movies and television, photos, music and, yes, games.
Again, the thing has 4 USB ports, bluetooth technology and a huge hard drive.

I think lots of folks realize this and plucked down the bucks versus the other players available. And I still believe many bought it with BD playback as the main reason! They can utilize other features as icing on the cake.
Why buy the others at their current price when the PS3 is capable of much more more than other BD players.
That curved surface also keeps me from putting the disc case directly on top of the player.
I've had a BB salesman tell me Sony doesn't really want you playing tooo many Blu-ray discs because it was designed more for game playback than "routine movie watching" (implying long term reliability issues perhaps?). Of course, they wanted to sell you more expensive standalone players.
no mention of the US in the article.

Its still a game console, no matter what you call it. That's why its a Play Station. Its not a media center that can also do games and movies, its first and formost a game console that may have secondary uses. Thats why only 40% of its owners even know its lso a BD player (see my post down the page).
