Initially I would say Bill Gates is too stubborn and individualistic to buy into his competitiors technology.

I wish he'd realize this "HD Pay Per View" he's pushing isnt going to take off to the level that could compete with BRD sales as stand alone.

But, after reading the article, it does give me a little faith that it will happen.
And, think about it strategically. What is the main difference between the 2 consoles, and in my opinion the main reason why the number of PS3's have been sold?

BRD !! Thats why i bought mine- not for the gaming, or even the games. At the time it was rated as good a BRD Player as some of the standalone players on the market. And, for the same $$$ you could get gaming thrown in as a bonus.

360, I feel, is a far superior GAMING system, and its LIVE capabilities are phenomenal. Compare the 360 Dashboard to the PS3- colorful vs. black and white-ish, easy functionality to get to downloads, etc.

Now, throw in the one item, either incorporated or as an add-on (as long as it has freaking HDMI), and it has the best of both worlds.

Think of how many PS3's wouldnt have been bought if this was the case from the beginning.

I only hope this news comes out fast enough that I could decide to try to return my PS3, cause I really dont use it for games at all.
