I am planning to buy a Sony 1080i LCD flat screen and a Blue Ray player. I see many Y!A that indicate I might be better off to buy a PS3 since it will play Blue Ray movies too.
I really like PS games and this would save me about $400. Will the game machine play at the same quality as the player itself?
Is playing Blue Ray movies with my PS3 going to look the same?

Well according to most reviews, the PS3 is stil lthe best option for a Blu-Ray player. But it's not just a blue-ray player, it's also used to play PS3 games. If you have PS2 games, you can play them too.
In my opinion, it would be the best option to buy a PS3. Much cheaper too ;)

I can't see how it would be cheaper to buy a PS3 over buying a standalone Blu-Ray player. It is about twice the price.
The technology inside PS3s are very good at de-interlacing and decoding high definition video, but the downside is that it is very noisy (with the fans) and the uses a lot of power. These are important things to consider - in the long run, it may be much more expensive due to the energy consumption costs, and no-one wants a fan spoiling a movie.

PS3 are aroudn $600 here in the US, still. There is a rumor floating around about a price cut though. Anyway, that is about 2x more expensive than a blu ray player. Anyway, the PS3 will play Blu Ray dics just as well as any other player, if not better. You'll also get a webbrowser in the PS3 so you can surf the web without ever turning on any other device.

You are correct: PlayStation 3 Core System - 80GB : Target I suppose the price drop is not a rumor! Interesting thing is, why is Target website loading images from Amazon?

Who knows. I wonder if they have some partnership?
That's close to the same price in Australia if you do the currency conversion.

I haven't read anything between the two but I suppose it is possible. Maybe target can't afford the bandwidth usage and is stealing from Amazon, hahaha
