It will be able to play games.  This will be no different that the original Xbox.  The Xbox couldnt play DVD movies unless you purchased the DVD Controller, once the controller receiver was attached it could play Movies.  BD-Movie playback will be software locked, once the purchase the unlock software you will be able to play BD-Movies.  Sony knows that most of the people that buy the cheaper Slim will eventually buy the software upgrade to watch BD-Movies.  But by doing it this way they will be able to better compete with the Xbox Arcade in price.


But wouldn't that keep the production costs the same as the usual Blu-Ray enabled Ps3? Blu-Ray is still in there so it's costing Sony.

This Whole thread is bullshit anyway.
