Sony had 'no choice' but to include Blu-ray in PS3

Quite right, my 80 gig launch has been in my closet for a year and a half because sony wants me to spend $150 to fix the already expensive piece.  My old lady is a nurse and I have my BS degree but I would rather invest my money into the console that will be replaced for free, if it is broken.  And for all the flamers, my 360 broke twice, and both times I just said it was the RROD and they sent me a refurbished free of charge, back in two weeks flat each time.  I couldn't be happier; $150 HA!  The invisible hand said NO Way...

Did Adam Smith get to you too?
