The only thing that holds water in the argument is online you have to pay for. And also, you don't need the HDD if you are going to keep the console offline.
It was also funny to see how Sony doesn't think Wii as competition despite it molesting the market. Well, it's their loss.
The problem with the value argument is that people get these devices first and foremost to play games with it. Which is proved by Wii sales.
@Haxxiy: You mix up BD and HD-DVD. HD-DVD was region free, while BD has three regions. DVD has 8 regions, not nine. And what do video regions have to do with games?
Nothing is stopping DVD from having the same coating. After all, physically the discs are pretty much the same. Although, if the disc scratches despite the coating, it's causing more damage than similar scratch on DVD.
@City17: How did BD protect from piracy? As far as i know, the most effective way is to have effective encryption. Besides, by taking so big hit on sales, BD have caused more damage than piracy would have.
