when have they used a failed disc, ever?
GCN used a mini DVD bassed disc and Wii used a DVD bassed disc and before that they used carts, a Blu-ray bassed disc format doesn't seem unlikely at all. No one as far as I know has said it would play Blu-ray movies so they are not going to be paying sony anything by using their own formating on a disc that uses the same manufacturing process and a disc drive that uses a Blu diode nether of which Sony owns a stake in as far as I know and it would fit into their past trend of using the current disc tech (to lower costs) with their own format so as to avoid licensing costs...
