even if 360 adds a bluray they can not start making games on blu ray discs. Since then everyone would have to get a new 360. And thats where ps3 is going to get stronger then xbox 360. And if they add a external player I would not get it because it's ugly. Why not get a real blu ray player instead.
ps3 can stream content from a pc and at better support then xbox 360. Since xbox cant even play divx movies.
Later this year ps3 will start with downloadable hd movies. And additional content had been possible since day one.
ps3 is the gaming machine of the following 6-8 years
I still don't see how blu-ray discs automatically make the ps3 stronger than the 360...1 blu-ray discs costs more than 20 DVDs, thus it is still cheaper to just make a multidisc game, if you really need that much space.
As for getting a real blu-ray player as opposed to a Blu-Ray add-on...a blu-ray player is over $400, while an add-on will be less than $200...I'll take ugliness over $200 more bucks any day.
The 360 had an update that allows divx movies, and I highly doubt the PS3 has better networking with windows than the 360 does
even if it does, it has worse networking with other PS3s than the 360 has with other 360s. There's not a single game for the PS3 that I would want to buy if it was also available for the 360, simply because of the better quality networking, multiplayer, and online store.
Sony's been claiming they'll have downloadable movies for a couple years now, I doubt any release dates they mention until it actually goes online...as for 6-8 years from now...there'll be a new Wii and a new 360 by then, so I doubt Sony has the edge then.
