I'll be blunt, I can't point to a single game that was better thanks to Bluray. The best things Bluray had to offer on PS3 is higher quality video and no disc swaps.

It appears to me the only thing that motivated Sony to push Bluray was royalties and it made the PS3 signficantly more expensive. Had PS3 not included Bluray, it might have launched for $399.

Not everyone wants Kinect, but not everyone wanted Bluray either. So I ask again! Is forcing Kinect on people any different than Sony forcing Bluray on us for PS3?!

Without Bluray you couldn't play any PS3 games. It was central to doing what the device was designed to do: Play games.

Everyone knows (or should) about pushing Bluray to win the format war with HD DVD. 

Can I play games without Kinect? Yes. It is not central to the device, it is an add-on much like the Wii U tablet.

Fascinating how your brain works.
