The discs are the same size, the only real difference is the laser that reads the disc. VHS and BetaMax were two totally different formats all together. |

When they hit $100-$150 I'll think more about doing it, until then... meh.... what I have works just fine.

Right now the advantage of the PS3 is you get the gaming console, media player, web surfing device, and a blu-ray player for not much more than a player costs by itself and you get to play The Force Unleashed.  |

(unless they do actually come down to 100 bucks) Come to think about it, we haven't sold anything electronic that we have. We bought a 27" sharp Tv in 1996 and we still have it. 2 VCRs and four DVD players including the PS2 but not the PS3. |

VHS and BetaMax were two totally different formats all together. | As with the VHS/BetaMax wars, content providers have made their choice. I don't expect HD-DVD to survive as a format. Hence, no profit for drive makers to make new dual format drives. Hence, no new dual format players.
