thats whats gonna make ps3's keep selling long after 360 and wii are dead.

a lot of people will pick the ps3 over a dedicated blu-ray player.

Why?  I can get a blu-ray player from Amazon for under a hundred bucks and by the time the PS3 is that cheap blu-ray players will be even cheaper.  The majority of people aren't going to fork a couple hundred bucks more to get a system that plays games because they will never use that feature.  People used to get a PS3 because it was the cheapest option, not anymore.

I did buy a PS3 over 360 because of the Blu-ray. I wanted to see our wedding recording on Blu-ray :)

Also in addition to Blu-ray, PS3 is also acting as Trojan horse for 3D. That's an added incentive and return for Sony.
