I dono… i’d rather they make an add on. otherwise i’ll be forced to buy a ps3 and use it as my other media that is not videogames machine. I mean… I can’t honestly see myself playing anything else on a ps3 other than music and movies.

Fair enough. MGS4 promises much. And we’ll find out more about FFXIII this week. Versus wont be out until late 2009.

Right now I’m really interested in MGS4 and FF13/versus. Once those are out I’ll probably buy one if I have the $$$.

Ah Dave, I think that was a Krispy quotation, still relevant in the discussion as “blu-ray” was seen to be a mistake for the console.

If you think the games part is still to come, I expect by the time this peripheral releases the games you may be waiting for might be out. What games are you thinking of? Any that are of interest?

I don’t know why you put “so many mistakes” in quotes, I didn’t say it. As to whether sony made the right decision, I don’t know. They’ve got a fine movie player but had to launch at $600 because of it and the games part is still yet to come, imo.

Right now, yeah, that’s the only reason I might buy one. But as I said, I’m not much of a movie person so even that’s a long way off.

David. Is playing Blu-ray the only reason you’d buy a PS3? Is it even at the top of your list? Are you saying Sony made the right decision of putting blu-ray into their machine, even though they’ve made “so many mistakes”?

That’s a very good question. If microsoft DOES intend on releasing a blu-ray add on, I’d just rather wait for that. I’ll probably get a PS3 eventually, but I don’t want one just to watch movies.

So what was the point in me buying my PS3? :-P

Silly fanboyism aside, the BDA will allow anyone willing to pay the money to have a blu-ray player. It’s called business.

Microsoft aren’t going back on their word. They won’t be using Blu-ray for their Xbox 360 games.

Well so much for the “We dont need bigger than DVD9″ from Bill Gates.

Anyway the BDA and SONY should NOT allow them to have nor build a BD player for the XBOX 3fixme nor the next one (the 720)… this would reduce sales of BD movies BUT it would kill of the xbox console as they would be left in the dark ages with DVD9 LOL.
