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?!


Bluray is an essential part of the PS3, games had lossless audio and video and were on 1 disc so it was a major advantage vs 360 compressed, multiple disc games. Kinect on xbone is like the HDDVD addon on 360, not essential in the sense that no game requires it outside Kinect only games, and essential in a negative sense because the UI really is build with Kinect/voice commands in mind, and it doesnt work really well.
