Sony is just planning ahead. Remember? PS3 suppose to last 10 years before they make a new console (so they say).

:P

What are you gonna do when games get bigger, in a few years games will start reaching 15-20 gig range. You expect game manufacturers to make two different copies of each game one on single BluRay and a second version on 2-3 DVDs. Thats not practicle. No ones gonna do that. pimperjones

I had the same view as you when I heard the price of the PS3, but after considering the long term value, long term potential, and the apparent superior durability of the PS3, I came to the realization that it is a much better long term investment than the 360 is.

I own and love the 360, but to deny an obvious design flaw would be nothing short of living in denial. The amount of 360 's that are lemoning out on people is still staggering over a year after launch. A great library it does have and will have, but what good are all of those great games on a part time system that so many people are having to replace 2, 3, 4 and even 5 times? It is beyond ridiculous.

Regardless though, both are great systems, but I am sold on the PS3 being a much better OVERALL system that will pay for itself in spades in the years to come when developers finally catch up and tap into the new technology that is still sleeping within.

So, from a long term value stand point, the PS3 will offer much more in terms of quality and durability in my opinion....which of course more than justifies the price. Just try to look down the road a little ways and you will understand what I am getting at here. Besides, the system is not even 4 months old yet, you cannot expect it to deliver everything that it is capable of right now, all at once, lol.

thats just too bad

I really pity the people who use the ps3 just for gaming.

Its almost like buying Windows Vista Ultimate just to play solitaire

watch a blu ray movie, and you will not want to go back to dvd

i agree with you completely . but how many of you believe your ps3 will last ten years through lots of gaming. i know the ps3 is much better quality then the ps2 but i went through 5 ps2's that burned out. unless ps3 has some magical technology that makes it unbreakable i highly doubt anyone will have one for ten years. i would much rather buy a toned down ps3 without blue ray that used multi dvds. which cost a developer less then 10 cents a piece to create. over a 600 dollar system that in two to three years could just break and force me to end up forking out another 600 ya knowNofacekilla11

I do not really have the expectation for a PS3 to last for 10 years, but who knows for sure? Hell, my N64 still works fine, lol. Just consider the differences in the PS3 and that technology if you will.:lol: 

I just firmly believe that for the long run, and thinking of your investment long term....the PS3 will indeed deliver more bang for your buck quality and durability wise. Blu Ray is just yet another added bonus that only solidifies that long term value as well....not to mention that it only enhances the entertainment value considerably.

The price is clearly justified when you consider all that you get measured in with a long term point of view....which in the end makes sense and makes it actually worth the price.

because 500 gb of storage space is worth more to me then a blue ray player,. i didnt buy a ps3 for movies. if i want a blue ray player i would go get a blue ray -player as a stand alone when they proove its not gonna be a failed project like lazer discs. thats was the next gen in movie too anyone remember them. for those who want movies with there gaming machine thats cool . i was just thinking alternatives to it. i own one so theres no going back now.. but i would of prefferred to have one without blue ray and stored games through hardrive over a movie player

also i dont see  pc's  needing blue ray players to make quality games.  i havent seen anything on ps3 xbox360 or any other gaming system that has surpassed pc  games

If you believe all of that hype then you are an idiot. If you think a PC will need a bluray drive to make good games then you are dead wrong.
