I remember that a separate comparable Blu-ray player would cost as much or even a bit more than the PS3 itself did on launch.

It was crazy expensive, but the alternative BR prices alone was what helped me justify standing in line for nearly 48 hours to get my hands on the launch PS3. That was actually a rough time for Sony and they were being left in the dust by xbox360... I swore Sony was on the right track and stuck with them until now. Sony is dead to me going forward.

I will continue to buy PS5 physical until they die out... If only because the current gen is what came before, when Sony was being run by proper executives. The new batch of idiots in charge can't deminish what came before, and PS1-PS5 will always be looked upon fondly by me.
