actually, the bd laser in the ps3 makes it future proof. not coz it can play bd movies, but coz it can offer more storage. since the ps3 is capable of displaying 1080i resolutions (meh...probably 720 but hey...), for games to take advantage of this, they would need to have a large storage space. and the bd disk is just the thing for hd game graphics. its just like bd movies, want hd image? you nead more storage. so in the end, once game publishers have gotten the hang of the ps3s architecture, we would see better graphics on the ps3 as it can handle the additional storage requirements.

  

LISTEN TO YOURSELF AND WAKE UP!!!! NO CONSOLE IS FUTURE-PROOF!!! Already all high-end gaming PC's can wipe the floor with PS3 and Xbox 360 graphically, EASILY. 

As for the advantages of Blu-Ray for gaming?  So far Sony have yet to prove this, as there isn't a single multi-platform game that has been made exclusive because it 'cant run on the 360.'  Additionally, the Blu-Ray drive's read speed is slower than the Xbox 360's DVD drive....... 

 


This is true but this is because the 360 is limiting the PS3. Developers need to make money and the best way to do that is to make it dumbed down on PS3. Here is a quote from:

 http://gamer.blorge.com/2007/09/16/developer-xbox-360-games-keeping-up-to-ps3-but-not-for-long/

 "Where the real problem stem is in the two system’s processors.  While Xbox games can be tweaked to move up to the PS3, the reverse is not always the case.  Due to the PS3’s advanced processor, games developed for the Sony backed platform sometimes can’t be downgraded to the the 360’s chip. 

With the 360 being in the range of 2 years old now, it is said they have used about 90% of the systems resources, which allows for some PS3 games to be ported over, but it will become rarer as time goes on.  As they push the PS3’s performance, they will finally surpass the abilities of the 360 completely."

And yes PC's have always been the top of the food chain in terms of technology. The only problem is no one buys PC games.
