BLU RAY drives for the Playstation 3 will cost Sony a small fortune. It turns out that at the release of the console in the first half of 2006, Sony will have to pay more than $100 per drive it builds in Playstation 3. This is a lot of money, because even in retail you can buy a DVD +RW drive for less than $50 now. This means that Microsoft can get it much cheaper than $50, maybe even half that price, due to the enormous quantity it needs to buy for millions of XboX 360 consoles.

I've heard rumours that the ps3 will run close to the 500 range. Also that this Blu tooth technology apperantly will fry your ps3 if some pirated game is detected so you can't use your ps3 again. I'm having a hard time believing it, and really doubt that this will happen but who knows. With gas on the rise and maybe inflation in our future, I don't see myself purchasing any of the new consoles the first year they hit.

I'm enjoying my brothers Xbox,Gamecube, and my playstation 2, and don't see myself stopping anytime soon especially with ps2 coming soon. I really think they are pushing these next-gen consoles too early. The cost of hardware need to make the next gen consoles is enough to prove that they are.

PSP is much smaller than your average portable DVD player, so its a lot easier to just have it in your backpack/pocket or whatever, and watch a flick on the bus or waiting at the dentists office. You can't deny that normal sized portable DVD players are a bit unwieldly for everyday use.

However, I will agree that UMDs are ridiculously overpriced, and lacking in the feature department of their DVD counterparts. You'll routinely see a bare-bones UMD of a movie for the same price as the SE DVD, if not more. But that doesn't stop you from ripping your own DVDs your Memory Stick and watching whatever you please (or downloading them pirate.gif ) I think that is the real area where PSP shines (it sure as hell isn't the games at this point! beigelaugh.gif )
