Normally I wouldn't post this, but they start this in such a funny way...

PS3 Insider quotes another web site as quoting a Japanese magazine suggesting that the Playstation 3 will come supporting Blu-ray technology

lol, no vagueness there. But it's definitely a possibility...I'm just concerned with the costs, as right now, it's still very expensive, and still will be for a while. BD or HD-DVD, either way it's going to be awesome...can't wait until we get our first new player in the store. 🙂

You don't have to buy them again, it will be backwards compatible. Just buy new HD stuff as it is released...

It very well might have Blu-Ray, but as it stands right now, Blu-Ray isn't as close as we'd like it. As a 2005 technology, they're pushing the limits in unwise ways(i.e. will Blu-Ray discs hold up to abuse like DVD's; experience needed to answer that), so I would be mildly surprised if they used it.
