So does it make sense? Not for everyone... ;)

I was of course referring to "launch" machines for a reason, but even so. I would be willing to wager that a PS3 bought and used as BR player even today will be much less troublesome than a stand alone BR player over the long haul, if only because the PS3 is essentially a computer that plays BR discs & optionally games as opposed to the stand alone BR player which is likely as not a "dumbed down" consumer electronics device with corners cut to save costs.
