The Blu-Ray in Playstation 3 will definutly be a huge advantage for Blu-Ray. HD-DVD still has the advantage or better sound, earlier launch, and cheaper price. Also price is an issue. Playstation 2 launched in late 2000. By then the DVD format was 3.5 years old and had players running at $100. Playstation 2 could encorperate this and still keep the Playstation 2 releativly cheap. With Playstation 3 set to launch in late 2006 the Blu-Ray format will only be 6 months old and in order for Playstation 3 to support Blu-Ray it would have to launch at around $500. This would definutly give its competitor Xenon a big advantage and still might not be enough to overcome the fact that HD-DVD is definutly the superior format.
