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.
