You can rationalize it as much as you want, but as stated above, there is just a certain price point that consumers just can't psychologically get around for any product, not just the PS3. While you are correct that $600 is not that much more than $400, especially when you are getting a blue-ray player included, that number just sticks in the head of the consumer as being too high, especially when you consider that a major demographic for the PS3 is middle age, middle class parents looking for a gift for the kids. In my particular case, I payed $350 for my xbox360, which was only 50 more than I payed for my xbox (and PS2 for that matter), and to pay almost double for an item that I am going to use for the same purpose just sounds insane to me, no matter how much I work it around in my head.
