True, games are the most important feature. But adding movie player functionality is a nice additional feature. Its basically the reason my wife didnt kill me when I bought a PS3... ''Look honey, Hi-def movies''.Why wont some ppl understand, movies don ...
HD-DVD vs Blu-ray directly affects gaming..
A) What are games released on? A disc format not digital distribution, in present times we use discs as the medium to play our games.
B) 1 Blu-ray can hold multiple amounts of data compared to a DVD increasing the quality and space available for developers
C) MS really lost big time, especially with there plans to eventually produce games on HD-DVD... they picked the wrong side 'nuff said.
when your console doesn't have any AAAe or GOTY, all you have is blu ray.
Are you kidding? We are at the crossroads of a huge format upgrade and now only one system has the upgrade (bluray), thats a huge deal.Its like a Car that doesnt come with any type of music playing device or speakers...Obviously thats not why people buy a car, they buy it for transportation. But if you honestly think that wouldnt affect the sales between the ones that offer the best technology available for a competitive price and those that have nothing.... youre crazyAnd that analogy isnt nearly as big a deal as consoles as a movie player (now HD movie player)
All this disc crap is perhaps the stupidest thing in video game history.WHO THE HELL CARES?!
I like money. If i can get more value out of one system than another than I will pick the system that has more value to me. I can play great games in HD and watch great movies in HD = win for me the consumer.

because the movie industry is huge:| And once the PS3 gets the bigger install base (this year is likely) then devs will start developing on PS3 and porting to 360, unlike what is happening right now:)

Do you know how many people bought a Playstation 2 as their first DVD player and switched to DVD from that? A good majority, if not all, the people I know switched that way. Yes, they were gamers... but there parents used it as a DVD player.

You do realize that the PS3 is a cheaper Blu-Ray player? This is a big plus in sales for the PS3, since people who aren't big gamers will still purchase it for the Blu-Ray. And I can only guess that if there is a large and growing install base of PS3s, then you will start to see some more games.

I guess if it was the other way around, you would say something else, so stop hating.
you dont need hd dvd or blu ray to play games
[QUOTE=''credibilityzero''] I guess if it was the other way around, you would say something else, so stop hating.[/QUOTE]no i would not. i have never flaimed a console because of blu ray or HD-DVD. i own both consoles and find them both extremley usefull. but i think the blu-ray on the ps3 is a nice add on..
