Blu-ray DVD drive no bonus for some Sony PS3 buyers
Gamers love Sony Corp.'s new PlayStation 3 for its graphic capabilities and firepower, but the advanced Blu-ray DVD drive is annoying some by raising the cost, slowing production and forcing them to buy into a format they've not yet aligned with.
"Blu-ray is adding $150 to $200 to the product. They've created something that is not for today's market. It's not a market driver, it's only driving the price higher," he said. In the gaming console war this holiday season, Sony's PS3, priced at around $600, faces two main competitors in Microsoft Corp's Xbox 360 at around $400 and Nintendo Co Ltd's Wii for about $250.
