yes it does need it and will have it MS will try to make the nextbox more of a home entertainment system then a gaming console (like there starting to do with the 360)

What? The 360 is more of a multimedia box than all the rest this Gen. No bluray has meant nothing. It has any HD film u can want. Unlimited music downloads. Taylor made console apps. Video social networking. Controller free multimedia. And more selection than Wii and ps3 when you include all media. So what are you referring to?

I understand you may want bluray. As that's what the thread is about. But realistically is it worth it of bluray is already dwindling?

its a valid point.

That is a ridiculous statement. 

The Xbox 360 doesn't have an internet browser, its apps are very limited, its music player is mediocre, its photo and video viewing facilities are again mediocre, it can't play HD films on the most popular media, heck it doesn't even have an Optical Cable Slot on it so you can't use it effectively for surround sound. 

The Xbox 360 is a games machine. You can tell that as soon as you boot it up and see the interface. 

Um Zune music player is amazing. For 1 cost I have unlimited music downloads across 360, pc and my WP7. Are you sure you know how much acess to media I have compared to my ps3 friend. And it costs me less a month for all of it than she spends and she gets much less.

Cost is irrelevant. 

The PS3 has Netflix, Music Unlimited by Qriocity, Lovefilm and all those media options as well. On top of that, it offers a much better photo/video suite, an internet browser (for example it's much better to go on facebook on PS3 than to use the 360 app), Blu-Ray and DD HD films, and it is twice as good for audiophiles.

Anyway, the vast majority agree with me so I'm not going to argue with you.  This is night and day.

OT: I think DD is the future, and I hope it becomes more popular with the next gen consoles.

What. Do you know anything about 360?

Zune pisses all over qurocity. it has more music. Better cost and lets you use the same account across 3 platforms. Zune has the most 1080p HD films download or stream than any other service. Over 1000 I believe now. And over 1.2 million albums.

You can watch live televison. Record, rewind and with no remote. In fact the nea update makes everything remote or controller free.

Social video kinect. You can watch films, trailers and well anything with someone across the other side of the world.

Pictures and photos can be viewed either through the awesome media center or the dashboard. Slide shows, slide shows with ur own music to. And photos can be used as ur dashboard background.

Sorry but the ps3 has bluray. That's it. And its pointless to me, both in cost and in future proof. Bluray in my area is dwindling. Not increasing. 3 Major supermarkets. Tesco, Sainsbury and morrisons all stock DVDs but no blurays. 5 Years on. In fact if you look up on Bing or Google blurays sales compared to HD downloads last year, downloads was alot more.
