Being in the over 40 camp, I'm the demographic with enough cash to actually afford one of Sony's little, overpriced boxes. It certainly wouldn't have made sense for me to get one had it not contained a Blu-ray drive. Sorry Microsoft, I used to be a fanboy but times change.I snapped up one of the few remaining old 80 GB bundles with game, MotorStorm. I can't imagine myself ever getting interested in First Person Shooters. Some of the adventure titles might be okay.
I had to put the slick, stylish box through some paces by seeing if it could play my monster collection of old +R and +RW DVD discs. It seems to handle even the old copies. Still, I'm contemplating walking down to a video store just to rent something on Blu-ray for a test run. In fact, I'll end now .. and do just that.
