I don't see Sony being able to do much with the added space of BluRay for gaming

If I could find the link, I remember Sony specifically stating that the Blu-Ray discs would not be used for games at all. They are "stuck" with DVD just like Microsoft... which obviously isn't stopping Microsoft from making games with stunning visuals and audio. There's plenty of space, plus there's a part of the Xbox360 patent that describes special compression algorithms to compress data at up to 1/1000th the size... what, specifically, that compresses, I don't know.

While I would prefer an all-in-one package like the PS3, I don't want to be forced into paying out the arse for it... like the PS3... When Microsoft stuffs the HD-DVD drive into the Xbox360 and both consoles sell for under $300, then we'll have something to talk about.
