I think that bluray player will lure in a lot of people who otherwise wouldn't be playing games. It's a great way to make it "acceptable" in a home entertainment system for adults. |
I somewhat doubt this. Right now you can walk into Best Buy and buy a HD-DVD player today, and pick up a few HD movies. And watch them tonight. For under $500. The add-on to the 360 is going to be around $150-200, which will make the 360 fall in line to the same price as the PS3 with Bluray.
The only difference between the two at this point is that HD-DVD is out now, and has the market the same way Microsoft has the gaming market with the 360.
It's basically a moot point to argue over as the pricing is about the same in the end if you're looking for an HD content player in addition to your gaming.
What format will "win"? Who knows. I really couldn't say. We might see movies with Bluray on one side, and HD-DVD on the other.
