Does Sony's PS3 value argument hold up?

It's extremely safe to say that onboard WiFi isn't adding $100 to the price of a PS3. The Wii has it. Even the $130 DS has it. It's a standard feature these days whether used or not.

The question should really be why the hell doesn't MS add it to the next MoBo redesign?

Answer: to sell $100 adapters for a $200 console.

As for Blu-Ray, that's what the games are published on. If you want to use it watch BD movies or not, whatever; it's there.

And there lies the biggest mistake sony made this generation. Forcing bluray adoption at the expense of its playstation franchise. Bluray wasn't necessary for gaming and is inferior to DVDs for gaming in all regards except space. It astounds me that people actually argue bluray adds value when the only reason it was put in the ps3 is to push sony's agenda. Forcing consumers that don't care for bluray to fork over the extra several hundred for the PS3.

 

Pushing SONY agenda includes trying to protect themselves from piracy.  I'd say they did a very good job with that for now thanks to BLU-RAY.  With the amount of amazing in house developers to protect I can see why this is so important to them.
