| Final-Fan said: "I am sticking with prior." So you choose "pay 2x for something you'll use". Isn't that what Sony gave you? THE WHOLE POINT of PS3 having Blu-ray is for the PS3 to have it STANDARD. Add-ons never enjoy great success compared to the main system. It would defeat the whole point if it was an add-on. Same goes for a different SKU, no one's going to make a game only some people's systems can play -- aside from the lower customer base, they'd get crucified. |
This is very true, the last thing Sony wants with the PS3 is to release a Sega-CD-like add-on. Microsoft knows that their HD DVD add-on is never going to be used for games. I would be overwhelmingly surprised if any developer produced an HD DVD game for the 360. The question is whether customers feel that the additional space offered by Blu-ray over DVD9 is worth the additional cost of including it as standard. It's clear that price is a primary concern for the PS3, with Sony doing everything they can to reduce the cost of the unit including the removal of backwards compatibility (which I think was a smart move, btw).
