Don't Sony own blu-ray? if so i cant see them letting m$ put it on their xbox, and even if they did xbox would not be able to play games on blu-ray discs only to watch movies, and a blu-ray player is around £300-400 so why not get a ps3 witch plays games and has blu-ray built in for £300, gotta hand it to sony they took a gamble with blu-ray and it paid off!
Ps3 60gb > 200gb > 320gb > 1.55 > 1.81 > 1.82 > 1.90 > 1.92 > 1.93 > 2.00 > 2.10 >2.20
If at 1st u dont succeed, cheat untill caught and then lie.

^^Panasonic and Sony. Joint Venture. Almost everyone seams to only bring up Sony. They might be uninformed or just cant spell Panasonic.
Sony is putting out a $200 PC Drive. The 360 add on is about the same thing. I think it is doable.

Own no, part of the group that owns it yes.
MS could care less about HDVD, but sony needs BR to survive.
Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.

Not with 2 lil facts BR can't get pasted 3 layer issues so they can not make discs bigger than 50GB and HDVD has a 51GB 3 layer disc thus size is no longer a issue.

Not at the moment, no. But obviously in the future they will. If it's necessary of course.
