Hey,

Right now MS says they're not going to add an internal drive model, probably due to the prohibitave pricing. I, for one, agree with that model. Let the Xbox seem more attractive than the PS3. No one is really begging for Blu-ray or HD-DVD support as of yet, seems as if they've jumped the gun a little.

Often times, people point to the PS2 and say, "A crucial selling point was the PS2's DVD playback!" and I'd agree, but I'd also pose the point that we're not to that part of next-gen optical's life cycle as of yet. DVDs were introduced in '98, the PS2 in 2000 (is that right?) so the market had two years to figure out how to bring the costs down. Obviously, the console market is off this generation, and Sony might end up botching the PS3 because of it.

Later,

Randall
