Even if you hate the PS3 or sony in general, you have to give an ode to the Blu ray. It took awhile but it is a hit, and will become the dominate media source in the coming years. And when microsoft releases the the next Xbox it will have to have Blu Ray capability. Congratulations Sony.....And whoever said that Blu ray is dead is ignorant so think twice next time

Don't tell me what I have to do
It's doing alright, but certainly not 'a hit'
The 720 certainly won't use Blu Ray. Microsoft have gone to incedible lengths to try to drive Sony out of the console business, why would they turn around and give them money. Mark my words, the 720 will feature a built in HD-dvd drieve for games, and dvd/downloadable for movies.
Feylick, the 2x BluRay drives used in the PS3 are slower than most dvd drives, and 4x Blu Ray drives are still expensive

Hah! I can really see Microsoft using a dead format for their next system. That's the real media center they need! News flash: Blu-ray won the war.
Blu-ray reads universally faster than the DL-DVD that the 360 uses. New things are always expensive. Later, they drop in price. Welcome to the economics of technology.

Note how I said they will use HD-dvd for games, not for movies. Lets compare the two formats for the purpose of gaming
Capacity - Blu Ray wins 50 gb to 25
Read Speed - A tie
Manufacturing Price - HD-Dvd is, and always has been cheaper
Licensing Costs - Toshiba owes MS alot for their support of the HD-Dvd, and Toshiba has abondoned the format - Licensing costs for HD-Dvd could be even lower than for the DVD format
Not giving money to their rival, Sony - HD-dvd is a clear winner here
HD-Dvd wins 4-1 against BluRay for gaming for the 720

capacity will be much higher by the time the new consoles come out. HD-DVD, being dead, is not advancing.
Ditto for read speeds.
Ditto for Manufacturing.
Ok, you got me here, I doubt it would cost much to license HD-dvd since it's dead.
They gave money to Sony to use a DVD drive. Oops...
