Now if they'd just release a PS3 model, sans gaming capabilities, with a quality BR player for $150, I'd be all over that!

Yeah. Anyone who would fall for that is a moron. PS3 games are on a Blu-ray disc. It would be impossible to have a PS3 console without Blu-ray. It would be a $149 paperweight.

I would probably buy a hard-drive only Xbox 360 that played all the arcade games. Doesn't need a disk drive.

Of course, the drive is like $15 of the price of the 360.
