I find this interesting that to expand to the higher capacity discs, you'll need new drives to read them.  I guess this is like all technology but after reading this, I'm holding off on PS3 all together.  I enjoy my PS2 but wasn't planning on buying a PS3 until the price came WAY DOWN from that original $600 tag.  Now it's lower but not low enough for my wallet.  And if it dropped to $150, I don't think I'd get one anymore considering this article.   I wonder if Sony would update the PS3 with a newer disc drive for the 100GB+ discs?  The excuse of PS3 as a cheap BR player is no good any more considering I'm seeing Blu-Ray players as low as $119 online.  Does anyone think that the game developers will try to push their games to 100GB discs and beyond.  I just can't imagine this.  I was happy with simple DVD format.  Guess I'll have to wait and see what happens with PS3 and price and BR over the next 6 months to a year.  I like 360 but I just don't like MS and all the problems I've seen.  I'm completely happy with my Wii but do like games that are exclusive to PS3.

You win.

we have a winner

Sorry. lol I can't believe I forgot to hit the paste button on that original post. It's there now.

Well wiifan.. seeing how the 360 seems to be getting a long just fine with DVD's, I don't think you're going to have to worry about PS3 running to trouble with Bluray's. Don't really see the point of this as it sounds like you already don't want one.

Their is already 8 layer blurays that can run in the PS3 with a firmware update. 200gb seems to be enough. I just think you didn't plan to buy a PS3 to begin with.

You really need 100-200GB for a movie?

You are absolutely right. I own a PS one and a PS 2. There's the proof that I didn't plan to buy the PS3. You are brilliant. Now I look forward to commentors with a better understanding of the OP.

the Blu-ray drive in the PS3 is far superior to those buyable for 119$.. also the PS3 blu ray drive CAN be updated trough PS3 firmware wich pretty much makes PS3 THE best blu ray playing device available

oh well, firmware update.
so you have no need to warry about. pick up a ps3.
