Being a gamer and playing everything out there, Blu-ray with the cell processor is the best combo, best video, and sound. Remember the files on PS3 are hugh, downloads etc, because of blu ray format, so the fact its as fast as it is , is amazing. Its reading 4-6 x more data then 360, 360 works on dvd, they only have 7 or 8 gigs, vs 50-80 gigs on blu ray disc. Hugh difference, espesially when you reading or downloading that much data from a disc, PS3 is a amazing machine, 299.99 , that is really a great price for everything you get.

DVD-DL = 8.5GB

BD-DL   = 50GB

I wonder what microsoft will do next generation. I doubt that Sony will let them use Blu-ray.

Sony's has almost no ability to prevent anyone from using Blu-Ray ...

They're one member of a consortium that controls the format, of which the vast majority of members don't care about the console wars and would look forward to having another high profile device which used the format to promote it further.

 

Sony can prevent but that would only damage Blu-ray's name.

 

They are not only a member on Blu-ray consortium.They also one of the three creators of Blu-ray and have the biggest part of Royalty earnings.They have alot of control on Blu-ray.
