Ability to run Linux.

The DRM built-into the Blu-ray drive and the PS3 are about as effective as DVD CSS was/is.

Not that I am saying they suck, just that will be easily worked around in short order. I also believe that Blu-Ray will drop in price. But, that will be more than a year off. I also of the thinking that after the first of the year will be a better time to buy... Jan-March is a LEAN time for MOST electronics sellers.

And a Blu-Ray drive in a PC... what do you think a PS3 really is? If you gots Linux, you gots all the potential you need.
