It would make sense for MS to use BR discs as it would obviously increase the capacity but also add a bullet point to their system and say that they can play BR movies just like the Playstation.

Digital downloads are too far away.  Even with the popularity of XBL its surprising that the most downloaded game is Aegis with 1.3 million and this is a free game to boot.  Seems like the masses aren't interested or aware of digital downloads.

 

Right, but I don't think that people care about a console that can play Blu-ray movies... it obviously hasn't helped, and has actually hurt the last place Sony PS3.

People want cheap, and the Blu-ray option is just keeping an otherwise great console too expensive for Sony to sell more PS3s.
