PS3 for BR already obsolete?

You don't understand the technology. I suggest you start reading a bit about it from different articles rather than just look at a very poor article that isn't really based on full facts. The Movies will not come out on Bigger than 50GB discs. The reason is simple, it is because people buy those movies to play on TVs. The best TVs currently available will play at best with a quality of 1080p. A Movie at 1080p + All special features fit on less than a 50gb disc. If ever the movie was so bloody long, they'd just put it on 2 blu-ray discs. One disc for the movie and the other with the special features.

The technology this article is referring to does not date from yesterday... not a week ago... nor a month... Not even a year... but from the early release of BR to the market. Even then, there were talks of the possibility of 400GB discs which were already in prototype stages. 

Your logic for not buying a blu-ray player is flawed at its core. I have a friend who doesn't like Blu-ray because he doesn't like the colour blue. That is a valid reason as it is a matter of personal preference. Others dislike the Wii because they do not like nintendo and that is still a valid reason.

But saying, you won't buy a PS3 because movies will stop playing on it in the future is like saying I won't buy a P4 PC in 2000 because in 2009, the i7 core will come out and Empire total war won't play on the P4. It's like saying that you won't buy a CD player in 1995 because the DVD player will come out in 2001. It is like saying that You won't buy you won't buy blu-ray in 2008 because in 2018, bigger capacities BR player will allow us to watch movies on holographic screens and previous players won't read such discs.

Moreover, I feel reading your post that you are either not very intelligent or smart enough to try to disguise you rant/flame towards the PS3. Regardless, the validity of your argument is put in question when you say you might have considered buying a PS3 for a blu-ray player when it's $150. I don't know anyone in their right mind who waited to buy a PS2 for playing DVDs now that the PS2 is $99. You will wait until 2012 to get the PS3 at $150.
