By how their restrictions are, they should just not include a BR drive considering how your retail disk is pretty much worthless. BUT considering they are aiming to be your media center they need a BR; and If it was all digital (which it practically is) Gamestop would not sell the console. For me the vision of the console is disjointed in term of gaming aspects, media aspects, and how the market works. Those aspects seem to have been envisioned separately; and then in order to make both functions compatible the console ended costing more; without offering the advantage of the hardware it has; and with lots of restrictions gaming-wise; and quite a convoluted mess in the other aspects..
