Sony sucks at this and already lost once, they will lose again. The playstation vs xbox as far as graphics and gaming is close, if you want the playstation because it’s a blue ray player, you’re wasting your money because it will probably never take off. IMHO i had a huge debate on this in another thread casue someone was trying to act like they knew something about it…feel free to check it out…tons of info & data in that old thread is there a chance it could not take off…yes but same with HD-DVD if your saying HD-DVD is like VHS & blueray is like Beta…maybe we’ll have to wait & see but if you look @ the numbers… blueray \> HD-DVD storage size etc… also…a lot of people thought that PSP movies would die but they have stayed in retail. one advantage sony&blueray have over xbox & HD-DVD is this… the PS3 drive is blueray reader…where the XBOx is not a HD-DVD reader, you must buy the add-on drive. SO…Sony has the capability to create games on a blueray disc…not that any game in the close future will have enough data fill a blueray disc…but the potential is there…i’m sure there will be games soon that will be testing the limitations if a DVD disc. XBOX is bound by DVD size as far as games where PS3 has the blueray capability. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/playstation-3/184533)._
