Those extra 10-20 gigs will give you lower loading times, faster graphics, distant drawing and overall better graphics. They might even be used to give the PS3 players extra content if we speak about multi-plat titles. And with the momentum BR has built up against HD-DVD, the PS3 might (freaking WILL) actually benefit from the BR drive inside greatly.
I know PS3 games are on bluray, I own one Regardless, the "faster graphics, ect" is all baseless as bluray will offer no real benefit outside of single disc games. As it stands now Bluray is a inhindrance to the PS3 due to it's cost, and if the format dies, either because HDDVD wins or digital takes over, than this isssue is compounded a hundred fold. As many people have stated Sonys main reason is to push the format, not to give a better experience, unless you consider Sonys best interest the right thing for gamers.
That the 360 doesn't have an external HD-DVD drive available for 200$ which brings the price up to 600$, which is the same price as the PS3? I don't think you can deny that.
What, that you have to drop $600 on either console to get a format that may or may not be dead in a few years time? Atleast with the 360 you can spend $400 and play every game just fine, and that cant be said of the PS3.
