I think it's fair. But I'd have liked to have seen a PS2 released at £199 at launch as well as the normal £299 verion but without the DVD option rather than have the DVD feature straight out of the box so to speak.
XBox offers this.
Sony are rumoured to be considering a basic PS3 for playing games only and a souped up all dancing all singing PS3 with all the browser, broadband, and bangles when it comes to launch time around 2005/6.

XBox offers that, just it offers crap gaming as well, everyone buy a GameCube and then also purchase a decent DVD player for 140 quid. Good. What level is HawkWynde now then FM? 39?

We went to town because HMV had an X-Box in, and it had crashed. We went to their website to moan about it, and the site crashed too.
ho ho ho!
ho ho ho!
lol the HMV in Chelmsford hasn't got an XBOX but when it does have a console in you can't play it.
The one at our local Comet has crashed too....
Just a point about the DVD Kit.
You fo get a remote with it, so it aint actually that bad. The official Sony Remote costs around the same dont it?

Damn Dirt Sony for charging me £25 for a MEMORY CARD!
Charging me for something that I actually need, gits!

I think you've missed the point, somewhat. Rather than put the price up, Microsoft decided that only people who wanted to pay for the luxury of DVDs should do so. Many people already have DVD players and PS2s, so if you don't want to use it to watch DVDs, you don't have to pay for it.

That's okay - Microsoft will charge you £50 for the same!
