PS3 won't have any blu-ray games for quite a while, I guarantee you.

Games haven't evolved to that point yet to require so much data. Maybe the NEXT systems will, but not this lineup. They'll still be using the DVD9. *IF* it goes beyond that, it's cheaper to use two dvd's as opposed to a blu-ray disc.

The bluray is there purely for movies.

The thing is, the PS3 is probably a good system in its own way like the PS2 was vs. XBox. The price is what's killing them right now. They'd have to drop it by half in order to be back in the game.

Most people don't have $600 to burn, and that is what will cost them until they adjust it. That is why you see PS3s just sitting in stores now.

I'm not saying it's a POS system, and no, it's not "junk", but it's not a wise purchase at the moment. It's all about what you pay vs. what you get right NOW. I'm sure anyone would agree right there. I said the same thing about the 360 a year ago. Back then, it wasn't worth buying. It is now.

As for the iPhone, most phones that do that stuff are $500-600 anyway, so there's no unusual price there. That'd be more of a comparable statement if the iPhone were... say, $1000.
