Does it read gamecube-sized discs, kwaad? They had to modify an existing design, and from what I've read that took time and money.

Personally I would've preffered a top-load type disc drive, I think the Wii would last longer hardware-wise myself. :o

Yeah, slot loaders chew up CDs and DVDs. The PS3 can get away with it becuase of how durable BluRay is. (I havent found any scratches on my PS2 discs *yet* but I wont be suprised when I start getting them)
EDIT: I dont know if it reads mini-discs or not. There arent many, and the information on them is slim to none. I'm just saying, I dont think anything over 20$ is a legit number for a DVD drive. The BluRay drive on the PS3 only costs sony around 150$ now, I'd say in 4 years the drive on the PS3 will cost under 50$. (that might sound high, but DVD has been around for almost 8 years now)

Do you have any objective proof that blu-ray drives cost $150 or are you pulling that number out of your ass?
