Its not, actually. Good Blu Ray players (which the PS3 is) still cost about the same as the PS3. The only ones that are notably cheaper are ones with shitty quality or lacking in features (or both).
Michael: Jodie, how's my schedule look for today? Jodie: You've got a conference and dinner party at the Japanese Embassy regarding wildlife protection. Michael: Oh, yeah...sorry, but I'll have to cancel that. I'm heading out to save America!
Thank you Tornado. Why spend the money on strictly a blu-ray player, when I can have the PS3 also? The only game I have opened for the PS3 is COD4. And that is only because the guys at work begged me to play with them.
but thats the only game you play wich means you basicly payed for only the blueray so you could watch movies and so it sits in you home collecting dust until the next trip to the movie store
