Sony is shooting themselves in the foot basically. Only die-hard gamers will pony up for the Playstation 3 with it's high cost. Sony is trying to kill 2 birds with one stone, that is get huge market share gains on both Blu-Ray and PS3 in one swoop. It will backfire. I don't know anyone that uses their game console to watch movies, even though it is capable of doing so. Sony is an extremely thick-headed company.

All this is doing is allowing HD-DVD to gain momentum and market share. Blue-Ray as a technology is not ready for prime-time, both the players and media. HD-DVD media is ready (1080p, movie extras, advanced codecs) and the next generation of HD-DVD players should bring the consumer the same experience they have with traditional DVD players.
