one. toshiba were the guys behind HDDVD, they made it
two. after blu-ray's victory, toshiba announced that they stopped production of HDDVD players, and had no intention of producing blu-ray players
Anyway, I don't see why you would want to trade in the PS3 for an external add-on. The PS3 is a superior blu-ray player. It is also from what i have seen a superior DVD player. It supports BD live something that I doubt the 360 will do, or do well if it does. Just seems that with an external add-on you would have built in weaknesses.
Plus you already have the PS3 and even if there aren't a whole lot of games there are still some. I really only get exclusives on the 360 and I tend toward the PS3 for multiplatform titles. Doesn't hurt to keep it even if you only get a few games for it now and again.
This will only mean more sales for M$. Sony might see more troubled times from this.
Plus it takes up quite a bit of space, If its not doing anything and you can basically get the same thing and make some cash back.
I would opt for that over BD live or a slight increase in quality.
I still think Microsoft will eventually opt for digital distribution (internet). The HDDVD vs Blu-Ray thing and this 360 add-on (if it does prove to be true) are just ways of buying the company time to lay a foundation for their next business venture. I get the feeling that Microsoft just isn't taking this seriously... I mean, with how much money they have, they could have pushed HDDVD even harder, bought out competitors, and yet they didn't?
Just rambling.
PS3 >>> 360 blu-ray add on.
After all the PS3 is $400 right now. If the add-on comes out at $150 the cheapest 360 is $200. Meaning to get a 360 with blu-ray is still $350. Hardly a compelling difference to people that don't own either system. And if the PS3's blu-ray system is still superior it is even less compelling.
In the end this add-on does little to help or hurt either system. It still comes down to the games and features each one offers.
