I kinda have to agree with one of the posters that it's not good for PS3 if the xbox 360 were to get Blu Ray, espcailly if let's say Toshiba started making those Blu Drives for the 360. Where would that put the PS3? Yeah it might be good for Blu Ray, but it's definitely not good for Sony.

I think the xbox having a BD drive would further highlight the advantages that the PS3 has. Can you imagine when the comparisons articles start?

Yeah, like I said though it would be good for Blu Ray but bad for Sony I think. Sony as a company, how does sony benefit? Through Sony Studios when they buy Blu Ray Films from Sony? I think not... Like I said good for Blu Ray, bad for Sony.

Bill Gates actually admits in a round about way that he is in this to destroy hd discs. We all saw this coming, but never thought that he would admit that he's in this to kill it. Devious SOB.
If he were to go blu-ray it would just be in effort to sabotage and destroy it. He actually thinks that people want to download movies that you get to erase to make room for others, or that are lost with hardware failure. I hate that idea.

Wait...what. Not going anywhere? They've sold approx. 6 million of them worldwide and have released less than 10 good games so far, including 3rd party. How many PS2s have been sold? I think around 30m. Most of these people will end up with PS3s eventually. Especially with Xbox 360s failing at an unprecedented rate for video game systems.

It'd be great for Sony, the PS3, Blu-ray, and most importantly the gaming industry IMO. On the the issues that keeps on coming up with 360 developtment is the lack of storage capacity and gaurenteed HDD support.
