Sony isn't ripping anyone off, just not offering much choice for a main demographic that is young adults and kids who have cost as a major consideration. they are actually delivering value...b/c the regular rate of a BluRay device is over $1000, and you get one as part of the PS3 for $600. Problem is that most people aren't interested yet b/c BluRay's quality is beyond all TVs right now, and that any new tech is way too expensive. Plus, HD DVD and BluRay are both unquantified new techs in terms of being the "standard". Both have major corps on either side. It will be a format war. And what will dictate victory, thus affect gaming, is the price and availability...and how that equates to sales. Who can get BluRay or HD DVD in stores and in your hands...who will corner the markets. VHS won b/c it was cheaper and more available, it was certainly not better..and the fact BluRay is the better product means nothing.
it'll be interesting, to say the least.

There are four kinds of people in this world: cretins, fools, morons, and lunatics.
