Sony took a lot of slack for its decision to include a pricey Blu-ray drive in the Playstation 3. But could the company laugh last?
This week, word comes that two major retailers - Best Buy and Netflix - will be throwing even more weight behind the Blu-ray format. On Monday, Best Buy's chief operating officer singled out Blu-ray over the competing HD DVD for "fast emerging as [the] single format" and announced that his stores would be promoting Blu-ray discs front and center. Netflix, the online DVD delivery club, followed suit by announcing on Monday that it would be doing away with HD DVDs by the end of the year.
That all bodes well for the PS3, but what will bode even better is this: some really cool games. Hopefully titles like LittleBigPlanet will fit the bill.
