Blu-ray Player or PS3 Slim?

Sony China started to sell a new Blu-ray player model BDP-S360 yesterday when PS3 Slim officially announced in Cologne. BDP-S360 sells for RMB2,990 (approximately $440), compared to game-compatible-$299 PS3 Slim, WTF? Sony is trying to fool as many Chinese consumers as it can because it's not legitimate to sell game consoles (except few NDS) in China.

I thought it was the same for all blue ray players? PS3's are only cheaper than blue-ray players because sony is selling them at a loss.

Dude, I know Amazon.com. Plus PS3 Slim will be profitable because of cost cut as reported.

Asia is just generally slower in adopting trends in the U.S.

That Bluray player is $300 in the US and I bet it's been out here longer, so it's not just a China thing. I think Sony just gets away with it because they target BR players at a totally different market segment that wouldn't consider buying a PS3.

How can they expect to sell any of those players for that price in China? How much are HDTVs there?
