and i dont even want to tell you how insane that is. these companies can afford to take a loss in console sales. if not then they wouldnt do it.


You do realize that the 360 premium package is actually making money and has been for a while, right? PS3 is missing the point in my opinion. You can buy separate components that are better quality then having them all in one package. Look at the PS2 & Xbox DVD players, they were incompatible with a lot of movies. If I'm going to get a Blu-Ray player, I'll wait till the price drops and I can get a stand alone unit. Also, Sony is taking a huge risk in having the PS3 have a Blu-Ray player. Remember the Beta Vs. VHS era? Beta was a better format, yet VHS won. The same thing could happen with Blu-Ray. From what I know about it, Blu-Ray is in fact a better format, but HD-DVD might win out and then only Sony will be using Blu-Ray discs. Sony has a lot riding on their console this time around. This will definitely be an interesting console war.
