DVD is increasingly showing a strain in providing HD content.

Well recently the flaws of the DVD medium has been discussed as one of the major constraints of adding HD content. Who is at loss this gen? Are any measures going to be undertaken to avoid this compromising that has to be dealt with?

----many may think that the 360 is at a loss because it cannot fit as much data on dvd. however in the case of multi-platform games it hurts the ps3 more than anything. developers generally develop multi-platform games for the 360 first because 1) its a bit easier to develop for and 2) they create what they need to fit the game on a 360 disc first...this hurts the ps3 because 1) it gets sub par ports most of the time and 2) it means that most developers are not using the superior processing power and storage to create better games. it still has untapped potential that is not being reached. but this is only for some multi-platform games

----dvd otherwise just means compressed data and disc swapping for 360 which isn't that big of a deal.
---the only thing that may hurt dvd and 360 in the future is lack of blu ray. once HD tv and blu ray become standard in the household (which its pretty close maybe another year or two before everyone owns and HD tv) the ps3 will be the hottest blu ray player on the market. it updates movies automatically and is very simple to use. so in the end i believe that you're right to bet on the ps3 slim as the tables are already beginning to turn in sony's favor. but it will take another year at least for the ps3 to catch up in the sales department.

sony should wait for HDTV prices to drop a bit and then drop the ps3 price and do some hardcore ps3 blu ray player advertising. and FFS blu ray movie prices need to drop. a $30 price point for new releases is insane.
