Personally I resent Sony trying force Blu-ray down the throats of gamers to ensure they win the format war. If I want a HD player, I'll buy one seperately.
I don't mind MS approach with dl movies and such, but it's totally not a selling feature either. Similarly, I don't give a rats ass if my cell phone plays mp3s, has a camera, plays games, or does half the $#!t that are now standardly included. I just want one that has good signal, looks cool, and is simple to use (I hate endless menus). However, since cell phones are usually free with service agreements, it's not a deterent like the price or a 360/PS3 are if they do.
I also reject the entire arguement that VG are art that's popular nowadays. Hogwash. They are entertainment like movies. And like movies, you could make an art-flick/game, and like movies, no one will see or play it except a select few. MS and Sony seem to cater to the art view, Nintendo rejects it and focuses on fun. That's what most people want in a vg machine, simply fun. Most people on forums like this might disagree, but then, this is the very select few that might appreciate an 'art' game,
