You know I really wish that Sony would have made the Ps3 without blu ray cuase it would have been a whole lot cheaper. Cows be willing to admit that you really do not care that much if blu ray wins becuase you bought this system to play games and you think that It sucks that sony forced you (and me by the way) to buy a overpriced console just so they could move a new movie format that most gamers couldn't care less about. Tell me what you think.

Nope, I would only be happier and buy a PS3 once it actually had some good games. Thats why I'm buying one in mid-2008.

It's not the price, I just plain don't want a BD drive. So, yeah. I would likely consider purchasing one if the games are there.

I have owned a ps3 since day one bro (just downloaded Jumping flash on my Psp! lol. I just follow the industry trends and realize when people are making mistakes.)

By the way download Jumping flash from the network if you have a Ps3. Its an old game from the Ps1 days but still a great game (more so if you wanna be a mecha bunny!)

I see. You just don't like the fact BD is in the PS3. Personally, it's the best feature the PS3 has.

I'm old school. I like consoles for games. Games first. By the way Sony also messed that up with the Psp. If they would have made the Psp do a bit less and play more games then It would have beat the Ds. (it would have needed to come out at $199 mind you)

Much. Then I'd want to buy one for the games. The PS3 still costs 549 here in Canada and is in no way appealing to a gamer such as myself. I won't ever pay over $400 after tax for a gaming console... ever.

The games are on blu-ray disc. If it didnt have the blu-ray player you couldnt play anything on it. They are not gonna be making a 2nd stripped down version of the game just so the people without the blu-ray can play it. Think people.

Classes are about to start. I gotta buy books :?

I would probably own one a bit earlier, but I wouldn't be "happier". I've seen Blu-ray in action on a Samsung HDTV, and frankly it's a thing of beauty. I would consider it a very nice luxury for the asking price, although I can see why people who just want a games machine wouldn't want one.

Probably not. At first yeah but theres alot of movies I want to get on in Blu-Ray in the future like Rush Hour 3 and The Bourne Ultimatum.

Its looking like Blu-Ray is gonna be the winner in this format war, every commercial I see with movie releases is only Blu-Ray or DVD. It never mentioned HD-DVD.

350? I know it's 500 but that's not worth it to me. I already have a blu ray player on my dell.

Here are my options I get a ps3 right now, buy NGB and play it till my eyes bleed... Or I get Bioshock, Halo 3, COD4, and the other waves of great games being released on tthe 360 this fall

I can't afford both

It's a no brainer to get more games for my 360 than to get a PS3 and let it sit on my shelf till MGS4 is released

If there was no Blu-Ray then cows would be forced to download extra UT3 maps like lems because there's not enough room on DVD9, lol!

Also, the PS3 version of Stranglehold couldn't have the game AND a fully high def version of the movie on the same disk.

I would not get one, Blu-Ray is one of the only reasons I've considered getting a PS3 this year, without it there would just be the games...which at this point aren't that great tbh

Don't take it the wrong way. I've graduated from college. I'm sure such a smart man/women as yourself will also have no problem buying a $600 console after you receive your degree. Good luck this semester!

Without Blu-ray Sony would of used Dvd's like MS and been held back because of space, ofcourse not all games are bigger then a dvd but if you look at blue dragon which takes multiple discs and then gears which also needed to cut content because it wouldnt fit on the disc.

You're right. Sony made the smartest move this gen in adding a bigger size format for HD gaming, but people are unwilling to pay for the cost.
