i will just never believe that dropping the "disc player" will have a dramatic impact on a consoles cost.  obviously it is not free but it also isn't $100 of the cost.  i think this is just wishful thinking on the part of a (relatively) few gamers.  but those gamers seems to think dropping the disc will allow the machine to cost $50 less while also significantly increasing the amount of storage.  i just don't buy that.
Well the materials for the player itself and they'd be able to make it smaller then.  Save $20 on the player and a few more bucks from plastic.  

Overall I agree though.

And I'd much rather pay the probably $25 to get a disk player.
