something to note: the argument that people are waiting for one format to win the bluray/hddvd battle only applies to those interested in purely watching movies.
This is because blu-ray actually is and always will have an advantage over dvd for GAMING. which is still the primary reason it was included in the PS3 IMO.
PS1: CDROM, PS2: DVD, PS3: Blu-Ray ----> all for gaming primarily because of the different storage capacities that accompany each new generation of gaming.
If Blu-Ray were to fail, Sony would still produce them at a loss, similar to the UMD market for the PSP.
Games will always be on Blu-Ray for the PS3.
Blu-Ray will always exist in some form.
@OP To me the PS3 is of course a gaming machine first. But anytime I watch a DVD or BluRay, it is on the PS3, and that is quite often.
For Christmas I just got the Die Hard collection on Blu-Ray (all 4 movies). As well as the Mission Impossible trilogy and blazing saddles all on bluRay as well.
