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

joeorc,

You have good points and interesting background information. However, I was referring to the minimal gain in terms of what the average gamer experiences in the game. On most multi-platform games, you'd be hard-pressed to show that the PS3 is vastly superior to the X360 version. In fact, many games have the X360 version running at higher resolutions or higher framerates compared to the PS3 version. Good examples are Madden and GTAIV. I think it was the 2008 (or maybe the 2009) version of Madden that had the PS3 running at only 30fps compared to 60 on the X360. In GTAIV the PS3 runs at lower resolution.
