@twesterm, if they do why are they thinking of removing blu-ray and trying to basethe console on the internet service. If that was the case, then Xbox 360 would be number 1 in the console war. They make it seem like a huge problem. I am telling you, all Sony needs to do is keep advertising it well and make the ps3 profitable. Dropping the price at this moment would make things worse.

 

They may or may not know about gaming, but the base problem is not knowing that PS3 games come on BluRay discs.  Man I would love a PS3 that can't play any of the older games and can't do BluRay discs!

Why can't Sony put all the old games online available for download?

The real problem I see with this idea is that it would require Sony to put a huge hard drive on the console. That could well be almost (or more) as expensive as the Blu-Ray drive.
