HDMI may be a concern but everything else left out (the card reader and WIFI) could be added via external USB devices. And even without HDMI the lower priced model can still deliver HD via component. So it's not a huge loss and cuts the price down for those that don't want those things. > Yeah I know all you Sony fanboys, it's great that they will be a cheap > blue ray player, but there are no titles out and I used the ps2 for a dvd > player.

It should be much better for DVD/Blu-Ray use simply because the controller is wireless. The media center/player stuff in PS3 looks a lot like the PSP in function which is just fine by me. The DVD player on the PS2 was nice but the interface for it was an afterthought at best.
