Rumor has it that the Blu-Ray is a core reason why PS3 is running late – you don’t want to run half-assed into a major tech war against a heavily funded opponent. They aren’t apologetic – they are, in fact, trying to spin it as a major boon to developers.
There’s this sort of misunderstanding that the Blu-ray disc player for movies is somehow burdening the console with unnecessary cost. That is completely not true. We put our Blu-ray disc functionality in the console purely from a game design point of view. Once we had that storage capacity on Blu-ray disc, adding the movie playback functionality was extremely cost-effective, [the cost] is actually non-existent.
