Blu-Ray disk drive in PS3 will in effect give all buyers a "free" Blu-Ray disc player, thus building a base of potential Blu-Ray disc buyers quickly. |
(Many people bought Ps2 for the Dvd player, it was one of the average priced dvd players at the time, and came with the ability to play ps2 and ps1 games.)
Cons:
Slightly expensive (price will drop by the time ps3 comes around)
? I have nothing else.
Pros for Micro$: (still need to know if it's like aconventional dvd, or not)
Getting rid of the HDD (Less piracy, the xbox mem card will have enough room for your music, updates, etc.)
Unconventional Removable storage (again, less piracy)
Cons:
Future inabililty to play movies?
Edit: For whomever said Halo will keep Xbox afloat, you gotta remember that these console companies lose money when they sell a console, and make money when selling games. So selling a console, and having the consumer buy 1 game, leads nowhere but breaking even, but then add in other expenses and you're in the hole.
