PS3 HDMI, but No Hard Drive

Sony's hoping you will be the only one. They only make money if you buy games. Current thought is that if Sony matches 360 at $400 they will be losing more than $150 per console. Games are where the money is.

As a consumer, I am just fine with that (I doubt Sony is though)... ;-)

I'm with Dave. I'll buy the PS3 when there is plenty of BluRay software along with good games. As a video source, this thing will be one of the least expensive BluRay players available at the initial launch. Who cares if Sony is losing money? Their marketing strategy is not really my problem.

BTW Dave,
I noticed you added the CODA. Congrats on that! What happened to the Stratos?

Well, the Coda amp is really my old Legacy High Current amp made by Coda that blew after my 30 minutes of sonic heaven on the Tylers when I bought it used months ago... The Stratos was on a build delay by the manufacturer, so on a whim, I called up Coda to see if they could fix the amp thinking it would be cost prohibitive (I figured the burning smell meant it was done for)... When I was quoted $500 or less over the phone, I figured it was better to just fix it than toss it (I am lucky I never threw it out, even after I thought I could never use it again). Bottom line, the amp cost $125 to fix including return shipping, so my fears were completely unfounded on the repair costs. I now have the amp I wanted with my speakers in the first place, and saved $1300 to boot. Needless to say, I cancelled the Stratos order before assembly began. While I feel bad for Klaus, I am a happy camper with the Coda. and know I would not have found a better match with my Linbrook System.
