Let's see, for $499 you get a PS3 from Sony that: * Plays 1080p HD BluRay movies over component cables * Plays 1080p games - yes the PS3 is powerful enough there are already 1080p games * All the same exclusive games that 103+ million people bought Playstation 2s for * Complete backwards compatibility with 8000+ Playstation games * Complete backwards compatibility with 8000+ Playstation 2 games * Free online play for all non-MMORPG games * Linux * Webbrowsing in 1080p on your HD TV or monitor and other desktop apps

Nope. 1080p requires HDMI, and the affordable PS3 doesn't support that. Not that it matters, because no one has a 1080p TV. Hell, my computer monitor can't do 1080p, and it's far more advanced than my TV. HDTV has a miserably small install base, and 1080p-capable installs are a tiny fraction of that.

I didn't bother reading more of your post since you started out so wrong.
