the basic service is free, like web browsing and trailers and demos. i think playing online may be free but i dunno. and you can play or downloads of music and movies and other jazz.
But they all do sort of the same thing, and that is rearrange what you thought was real, and they remind you of the beauty of very simple things. You forget, because youre so busy going from a to z, that theres 24 letters in between... You turn on... tune in... and you drop out...

If I have the money, I'll get one because of the technology that they are incorperating. Examples would be Blu-ray, SuperAudio CD, 1080p resolution, stuff like that. And looking at the games that are in developement, they are producing some pretty original games for the Ps3.

and i hate when people dis sony for having series's. i love to re-enter a completely new action perspective of a game i already know well and adore rather than a new one i dont know at all.

When you think about it their are a lot more games being made from series know like Final fantsasy, metal gear solid, Devil may cry and much more. Most of sony's good games are series and they hardly make new titles. Im not saying their only good games come from series but a lot of them do.

Im not a PS3 hater, just let me remind everyone...
We are way off from getting gigantic games more than the 8gb dvd at this point, so this whole excitment about blue-ray wont hit home for a few more years into the console's life cycle.
Development costs for games will also be higher when publishers start making games on the Blu-ray since its still pretty new, (this translates into higher prices for games for us consumers, maybe up to even $70 per game).
Remember BetaMax??? It was FAR superior to VHS tapes, but it flopped. Sony developed BetaMax. Sony also developed the UMD format for the PSP. The UMD has also flopped. Many movie studios have stopped making UMD movies to extremely poor sales. Even Wal-mart has decided to stop selling them.
Blu-ray is superior to dvd, but just because its a bigger format that can hold hi-def movies doesnt mean its "better". dvd was a huge step forward from vhs in terms of: no rewinding, instant chapter selections, the video quality doesnt degrade over numerous viewings, sharper colors, higher resolution, etc. Same thing with cassete tapes to cd. Blu-ray doesnt offer a big enough advantage over dvd to many consumers, especially with Blu-ray dvds like Phantom of the Opera for $25. its $8 on dvd. see the difference? My point is: Is it worth the extra 10-15 dollars just to watch it in hi-def? Are movies even recorded in hi-def? Probably not.

games on average are about 4-7 gigs now, and withing a year i can see about 10-13 gigs on average.

I kind of agree in the fact that HD-DVD should do the trick for disc sizes this next generation. I have to say that we probably won't even go over 20GB.
How much space does it take up to put a game in 1080p compared to 1080i?

a bit more space most likely. imagine a bluray with all ff releases ever up to 10? or all the crash bandicoot games in one. thats a good place itt'l come in handy. plus with the extra space they can do lots of realtime cutscenes.

Ok but if it isn't much then why go for a more expensive player and disc?
On Wikipedia they say that HD-DVD can handle 1080p too so I think HD-DVD would have been plenty for THIS next generation. Now a couple generations down the road, I can see either Blu-ray or an advancement leading the way.
"The HD DVD format supports a wide variety of resolutions, from low-resolution CIF and SDTV up to HDTV formats such as 720p, 1080i and 1080p"

If alot of space is made available.. it would most likely get used up. Back in PS1 days was games on DVDs... no. They were on cd's. Not until PS2 that they crossed over to DVDs, and even a buch of early PS2 games are on cds. And are there a significant size difference between cd's and DVD's?...hell yes. So i dont know why ppl are saying blue ray isnt necessary and it has a buch of "wasted space". Games are gonna continue to get bigger as graphics improve and games become more complicated with ai. No way is a game gonna get limited to 20 gb and not allow to get bigger. If thats the case then consoles with hd dvd wont last very long at all. Sony is just doing what they were always doing. They put games on DVDs which holds more space, other consoles put games on DVDs also. Except for this time they own blue ray and no one can copy them. If blue ray wasnt sony exclusive im sure 360 would of had it as well and no discussion or arguments would be made.

Yes, true. Games will eventually get too big for HD-DVD but not for a while. What about compression techniques?
But with all that extra disc space with Blu-ray, couldn't they hike up the game play? Say if you had a 360 game and the same game on Ps3, could they make the Ps3 game better with that space like adding more to the level and making it look nicer by adding little details to the level?

yes. and they could add more unique foliage and oth meshes and models and textures with the extra space for them.
they alwas said "omg dvd is too much for games" and the cd died for ps2 mostly after what, about a year?
and compression techniques require decompression, which means more load times. 360 games are compressed alot, and have you seen the load times of games like madden 06 and oblivion? omg its like the dvd sometimes. i guess its also due to the slow ram and dvd drive for next gen size of data, allowing slow reads.

unless something changed, i was under the impression that there was not going to be ANY games released on HD-DVD. i thought M$ said the add on player was simply for "movies," and has nothing to do with gaming? has this changed???
