[quote name='Anexanhume']Thomas96, what you say wouldn't work because you can't just use a "chip" to add ps3 functionality to a blu ray player. It has special circuitry, including Input/Output functions, a graphics processing unit, and the cell processor. To make a blu-ray player be able to play ps3 games would for all intents and purposes, be a PS3 in a different casing. There's no cost-cutting going to come of it. And it wouldn't be a way to pander game capability to blu-ray owners, as that's what the ps3 already did early in its life. Now players can be had below 200 dollars. That market is gone for the ps3.[/QUOTE]
I understand that it would require more than just adding a chip.. the main issue is that is it even worth it do it. Like you said players can be had for under 200 dollars. It doesn't matter, its not like changing the PS3 casing to look more like a regular blu ray player is going to make an increase in sales.
