PS3 a faster money sink than the Xbox? I can see why no price cuts soon.

So Sony has had some losses w/ the PS3? Big deal, the addition of the Blu-ray drive has allowed Sony to get some fat coin from the Blu-ray related business. Bd is already selling at 10% of the physical media market in america so that means that for every 9 dvds sold, there is one Blu-ray movie sold. That is a pretty big thing if you ask me.

Source please? I have never seen this 10% figure before. I did see something like "5-10% out of the sales of the top-selling Blu-Ray movies", which is very different.

If you look here, you'll see 5% for one week in April, but that's only comparing the top-20 of DVD and top-20 of BD.  That's obviously HUGELY favorable to BD and especially on non-launch weeks were thousands of DVDs are selling about equally well.
