> huh? the premium 360 is only $399. the premium ps3 is $599. I got the 360, 2 games, an extra wireless controller, a plug and play charger for only $570+tax. hmm, that seems worth it to me. blu-ray is overrated. how many people are going to trade in all their dvd’s for blu-ray? and isn’t there a battle with blu-ray? i read some studios aren’t going to support it. blu-ray isn’t even here yet in the mainstream so who cares if it has it. the 360 can do everything the ps3 can, minus blu-ray. wow, big f-in deal. wait 6 months and buy one for $100 at best buy, it still will be cheaper.

not sure how old you are… but there was a time when everyone used VHS tapes, not DVD’s. And there were some people that asked the same question you did… and DVD’s are here, go figure.

I think Blu Ray is a great idea, I do on the other hand accept technology easier then most. However, sony does not push new technology very well. They have failed at pushing technology such as beta max and Mini Disc. This scares me that they want to push a game console with so much technology.
