I don't think it's the discs themselves so much as the expense Sony has gone to to get Blu-ray up and running. Apparently it's been a bumpy ride, so they don't want to take too big of a loss on hardware that has likely cost them a pretty penny.
I realize a lot of that can be made up with the system's price, (OMG price so hueg like Xbox) but then you're paying for blu-ray capability as well as a game system, and they're selling that at a loss. I'm just talking out of my ass here, but I'd like to think there are other motivations than pure greed.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
