it just shows how ignorant valve is, i play on both ps3 and 360, the online is the same now, the only difference is sonys network is free. microsoft is paying valve.

In a way this is true. It is cheaper to sell games (and produce them) on the 360. Selling 5M copies of a game on 360 earns the dev as much profit as say (shot in the dark here) 6M copies sold on the ps3.

I don't mean to hold your feet to the fire, but where did you get that info?

for one, dvd vs BRD cost.

for two, console owner fee is cheaper on 360.

there are several more reasons.

When you're talking about mass production of disks, Blu ray is barely more expensive than making dvd disks, I read somewhere that's its maybe 10-15% more per disk and that was over a year ago. (keep in mind they use mostly the same material) The media you buy for blu ray and dvd for use on a dvd/blu ray burner doesn't represent the costs fairly of what the companies actually pay per disk.  What might make a difference is the royalties paid per disk, which i have no idea if it's more than a DVD.
