I think the relevant comparison would be the HD TiVo for DirecTV. When it first became available, I believe that it was about $1000. Plus there was a monthly service fee from DirecTV: $5 additional for the receiver, and $5 for TiVo/DVR service. One nice thing DirecTV did/does is charge one flat $5 for TiVo/DVR service per month, even if you have more than on DVR unit (but you still pay the extra receiver fee). But the bottom line was about $1000 for the equipment, plus an additional $5 or $10 per month for service.
It seems the Series 3 might be in a similar cost range.
Sony's just released a 15.5-inch addition to its VAIO S Series that not only adds a crucial bit of extra display acreage, but also bumps things up to a full 1080p.
