This rumour has been made before and we all know this rumour is false. PS3 would not be able to play PS3 games without a Blu-Ray player. The PS3 games are on Blu-Ray game discs.
There is a PS console already out on the market that is non-Blu Ray and it is in its 9th year of its life. It is called PS2 and is retailing for one quarter the price of PS3 and it plays PS2 and PS1 games but it does not play PS3 games.
