I love how this thread is really about how awesome the ps3 is. megaman2, your stealth trolls used to be better.
Like, coasterlove said..Microsoft would rather put in a HD-DVD drive instead of a blu-ray drive...
Just because HD-dvd is dead for movies doesn't mean is dead as a format for games..
My Trigger Happy Sixaxis controller
i watch dvds all the time on my 360, if its going to bluray and the price increases im not gong to bother buying it. its not going to be very much longer before everything goes to digital, and when that happens dvds and bluerays will be just like those vhs or 8tracks

Perhaps the more entertiaining fact is that Microsoft already makes money off every bluray drive sold because they have substantial technology in the BluRay spec (namely VC1, used for about half the BluRay movies - including things like Batman Begins.)
^^
They make it from burning SW and movies that use their codecs, but it's not mandatory, like in HD-DVD, you can choose two other official video formats, and also choosing VC-1 there are other codecs from third parties, and despite popular belief, VC-1 was never entirely owned by MS:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VC-1
MS would have earned much more by an HD-DVD victory, as it would have hurt Sony, prevented a further growth of Java that's used for BD interactive contents, brought more royalties to MS as it had a much bigger weight in HD-DVD consortium than in the BD one, and finally brought additional exclusive license fees as the most used implementation of HD-DVD's Advanced Content was MS' proprietary HDi.
As a game media....
_I want no instals (only optional like the xbox360... I want to play my games whenever even if it means longer load times)
_I don't care about the rest.
As a movie media....
_I could not care less for BR
_actually I care even less than less...

I don't disagree - just think it's kinda funny that MS is making money off of BluRay. I'm not even sure that it's much different from what Sony makes off of BluRay in terms of licensing revenue - they each own part of the technology.
I would like a free live account more than a blu-ray player, but i would like both please microsoft. You can buy a blu ray player for no money these days and that's what a PS3 is for anyway lol
