lol, what a rediculous post, like it or not, the ps3 is a blu ray player.Yes 99% of people that purchase one MOST LIKELY will get one with the INTENTION of using it for games but eventually when the HD movie industry begins to grow and gain momentum and becomes more widespread people with ps3's may either rent or buy a HD movie to see what the fuss is about, and obviously with a ps3 they will try out a blu ray movie.This usually leads to a few movie purchases and/or rentals and eventually when its time to buy a standalone it will be a blu ray player purely because they r familiar with the product. Im a perfect example, I considered myself a gamer owning pretty much all systems (xbox, gamecube, ps2, xbox360, Wii) and had no interest in HD movies. After I got my ps3 and free copy of Casino Royale by signing up to the ps3 network, well, lets just say now with over 50+ blu rays, im hooked. Its a snowball effect and one which will cause the HD DVD camp alot of headaches. IMO if microsoft incorporated a HD DVD drive in the Xbox 360 itself from the beginning things could've been a lot different and blu ray might not have gotten off the ground.
