Microsoft not ruling out BD drive for Xbox

The same way that the fate HD-DVD rested on the decision of Warner Bros., the fate of Playstation 3 depends on its ability upgrade the multiplayer capabilities and to keep exclusive RPG titles that would render it a required piece of gaming equipment to most console gamers. Square is already launching a large RPG title for the Xbox 360 and I suspect if it is a success there is a chance that PlayStation could lose Final Fantasy exclusivity. If that would happen, I can foresee the death of the PlayStation console.

Before I get murdered alive for my comments, I would like to say that I fully support Sony and the Blu effort. I just think that they really need to kick it up a notch as far as the gaming/multiplayer portion of the PlayStation is concerned and I don't get behind supporting the inferior product just because of brand loyalty. If that was the case I would be in the HD-DVD camp.

Have you play Warhawk?? That puts the multi in online gaming experience. It doesn't lag, it doesn't freeze, so much going on screen at once and the server is FREE!

But put that aside, there's games like Killzone 2 and Haze coming up.
Look up those, they look fantastic!

Not to mention this large RPG you are reffering to by Square for the 360. What is it? The Last Remnant? That's also for the PS3 as well. So it's not like it is exclusive or anything.

PS3 is a year behind 360, remember that. It took the 360 almost two years to get a title like Halo 3.

The PS3 is a powerful machine, and it has plenty of room to grow.
