Forums - Sony - Would you prefer your PS3 to have a DVD player?

Given that there is currently a thread questioning whether 360 owners want BluRay, I figure we can ask you PS3 owners a similar question.  Would you prefer your PS3 to have a regular DVD drive instead of the BR drive?

Think of the benefits:

- MGS5 will not be 100 hours of cutscenes with 12 hours of gameplay.  Kojima simply cannot fit it on a DVD-9 disc.

- Next time you go to purchase a movie, you'll be able to pay for it with a twenty-dollar bill! (And, you'll be able to purchase any movie you want, not just ones available on BR.)

- Reduced load times - we all know this is not BluRay's strong point.

- Price cut!

- Exercise - You'll have to actually get up and swap discs for multi-DVD games!  It's the healthy alternative.

 

Please feel free to list other benefits as you see them... Discuss!



Stop getting so excited about a Kid Icarus remake... the original NES Icarus sucked.

- Reduced load times - we all know this is not BluRay's strong point. - good point again

- Price cut! - who doesn't like that

- Exercise - You'll have to actually get up and swap discs for multi-DVD games!  It's the healthy alternative. - not really a big deal, considering you have to do this with 1-2 games thus far

I think you are on to something...other good things I can think about.

-Sony, who was a year late, would have actually had to spend time making themselves better than 360 at lauch, rather than jsut say "it has bluray, buy it!"

-HD-DVD would have won the HD war. Superior players and a more versitile format despite slightly less space...



wow..... um.... hmmmm..... uhhhhhhh..... n...........no?



OMG I have a magical PS3 because mine can... get that.... play DVDs as well as Blu-Rays!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so lucky!



Signature goes here!

 Hence "regular DVD drive" vs "BluRay drive" in my post. 

This is proving something else unintended.. that Sony fanboys have difficulty reading.
