I think that Sony's statements on this are simply an attempt to justify their failed business case. If they had it to do over again, I think they would look very hard at whether the expensive BR drive hindered their ability to dominate this generation as they had hoped. Most games could be done on 1-2 DVD disks, so it's really a moot point. Sure, MGS4 is the exception, but it's more of a Hollywood movie than a game. It's this generation's Dragon's Lair. To those who are talking about the great sound on BR compared to DVD, I think you're fooling yourselves. Audio technology is already to the point where the human ear cannot distinguish from compressed and uncompressed audio. Do you hate watching BR movies on your PS3 because they're compressed and not pure, true, uncompressed video? It's ridiculous logic.
Hardware is only a means to enjoy great games!
