blu-ray also is one aspect that gives ps3 a tech edge over the 360 not just for movies, but for the actual games.

I couldn't agree with you more. Sony won the format war, partly because of the PS3, but it's also part of the reason why the PS3 was so high priced, and didn't sell as well as it's predicesors. For all intents and purposes, Bluray actually hurt the PS3.

PS3 was expensive because it quality and packs everything in. PS2 also have DVD it have more expensive due that than the GC games were bigger and so games like god of war were created.
...really? Well first off, the PS3 is quantity, not quality. The two are very differant. Sony figured that brand name and more technical features would sell the machine...it failed. Also, I fail to see how DVD a MAINSTREAM format has anything to do with Bluray which has yet to reach mainstream, mainly because HD has failed to reach mainstream yet.
the ps3 as a whole everything was expensive, from the XDR rambus ram the cpu custom design (at first), all ps3 have a HDD, it packed bluetooth and wifi, both things 360 LACKS.
Yes, the 360 lacks those features for a reason. they are both costly and unecesary. Incedentally, this may be why the 360 is cheaper, and why it is ahead. Once again qauntity doe NOT = quality. Something only fanboys forget.
blu ray was just logical it was a technology they had since 2003 in japan, it allow bigger games and remove the need for extras disc and give ability to the ps3 to play HD movies.
No, Bluray was not logical, it was expensive, and it was in the middle of a format war. infact it's pointless to have blueray if you don't have an HD TV...and last time I checked, HD didn't even have a 35% penetration. Admittedly, that was some time ago, but my point still stands, at the time Sony decided to put bluray into their machine, HD was NOT a standerd in most households. It would have been smarter to put bluray in NEXT gen.
sony did everything they had to stay afloat like microsoft failed quality control and 1 billion+ rrod control, or draining 6 billion on the original xbox.
LMAO!!! Sony did NOT do everything they had to to stay afloat. Your whole sentace makes no sence, but of course you had to throw in a jab at the RROD which is a non issue now. Sony FAILED when they released an overpriced, bloated (featurewise) console and then expected everybody to get a second job to pay for it. They honsetly thought that brand name and features would carry it. well, you can see how well that went.
MS lost money on the origional Xbox because they were not trying to make money, they were trying to gain recognition and setting themselves up to reap the rewards this gen. It's something all new businesses do, It's business 101. And hey look, it paid off!!!
As for the "failed quality control" that is a failed statement. had this been around the launch of the 360, I would agree with you, but now, RROD is almost a non issue, although quite a few YLOD are popping up now, and all of them out of the sorry excuse that is a one year warranty. At least MS admitted their mistakes and tried to rectify the situation. (see I can play your game too! You like???)
