Other than the release of TWO as-of-now exclusive games, Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid 4. The Europe lauch is, by all accounts, a massive failure. What is the next thing to start looking forward to? And I am not trying to flame here, I really want to know what the next major PS3 event is. Man, I am glad I bought my Wii and 360- I dodged a big bullet on that one. accameron

Microsoft would never add a blu-ray drive to the 360. Maybe next gen, if blu-ray were to become the standard in the next 4-5 years.StephenKing_1

[QUOTE="X_CAPCOM_X"]So? Microsoft would just pay Sony. They have money.DSgamer64

Yes but that could have an adverse effect on their consoles sales, if Sony was making money off Blu Ray from MS, then they could easily throw the money they get into the production costs of the PS3 and drop the price by a good chunk which would in turn sell more PS3's.

Blu-Ray and HD DVD are both out of date.

Digital distribution via cable & sattelite TV is the future.

That's going to change. Analog is going to be eliminated come 2009, freeing up lots of bandwidth. Not only that, but bandwidth savings will also be realized because of IPTV - the only channels that will stream to a TV will be what the user wants. If I want CNN, HBO and Showtime only, those will be the only channels delivered and streamed. That's a big function of IPTV, to tailor your TV experience and cut out all the noise you don't care about, like for instance....I never watch Lifetime, so why should it be streamed to me?
