SONY lost 3.31 Billion on initial PS3 costs; May never see that money back.

DVD looks really good when upscaled, and although I can tell the difference between DVD and Blu-Ray, the average Joe would be hard pressed to notice a difference worth the $30-35 price tag new Blu-Rays carry, copared to the $10-15 price tag DVDs carry.

Also, @masterb8tr, you really think online HD movies won't become the norm for ANOTHER 10 years (2018)?!?!? You gotta be kidding me! In my area alone $50 a month gets me 10mbps up/down through Surewest fiber optics, and they keep on expanding. I noticed Comcast has effectively doubled their internet speeds lately from the ads I have seen, and this seems to be the norm for a lot of companies who are upgrading to higher bandwidth fiber optic lines. I don't think it will be but another few years before we see online HD movie viewing start to become viable, as internet speeds for households appear to be going up and up lately. Just my take on things, but I give it 5 years at the most before online HD content starts to eat away at physical media. In 2018 I think it will already be the standard.
