Sumadyan - All hardware manufacturers that want Blu ray drives in their products must pay Sony a licensing fee. This allows a licensee to use specifications solely to develop, manufacture, and sell the BD products, plus to have the right to use the BD logo. That's the way business works.

So either way Sony gets paid if Microsoft decides to make a Blu ray drive for the 360...

Both companies will use each other's technology when it makes good business sense. Both companies will make money on licensing fees. Fanboys, don't wear your emotions on your shoulders....business is business!!!

I'm not discrediting Naughty Dog's talent but this is what happens when you have fierce competition. You get quality. That's why it's good Microshaft is in the console market. Hopefully other developers will be as classy as Naughty Dog, opening a new age of sharing and collaboration so all gamer development houses can produce quality work like Uncharted 2.

Why do fanboys defend large companies that only care about increasing shareholder value. If someone has the balls to call out the short comings of a company, I applaud them. It's not like they're giving away consoles and games for free.

Sony will never dominate the console market as they did in the PS2 days...and that's a good thing. Competition sparks innovation and drives cost down for the consumer. Sony and Microsoft need to get their acts together and look towards future b...

You console gamers crack me up! Killzone 2 is a great looking game but don't tell me Killzone looks better than Crysis if you have not had the opportunity to play it if full DirectX 10 on a decent spec PC. It's obvious that this engine had to be dumbed down to run on the current generation of consoles.

For all of you that have the luxury of owning a killer PC rig and a PS3, I would like to hear from you...the rest of you Sony fanboys need to get stop wasting your time defendi...

Despite the RROD, despite disc scratching, despite the $60 fee for online play and despite the overall reputation of Microsoft as a powerfully monopolist, people keep on buying the 360. Now if that is not success...I don't know what is.

Whether Resistance 2 is an innovative FPS is irrelevant. Console gaming innovation in general is finally doing what PC games have had for the last 3-5 years. The whole FPS genre has stagnated! To say Resistance 2 or even Killzone 2 will redefine FPS gaming is the biggest joke! Unfortunately most people don't have a capable PC to play games like Crysis at Ultra High setting, in full DirectX 10 at 2560X1600. Or even Battlefield 2 on a server with 64 or more players. Fanboys...GET A LIFE and S...

I am tired of all the emotional fanboy garbage! What you fanboys don’t seem to realize is developers are not lazy when creating a multi platform game. They need to get the game out the door to meet the commitments of the shareholders and get the return on the investment. Just like any other business, there’s a cost associated with creating a product. and there are deadlines that need to be met.

Since all games are first and foremost created on a PC, it makes sense Xbox devel...

Star Wars Pod Racer with better graphics and modifications. It does look fun. I enjoyed Pod Racer.

Who really cares. The best version will be on the PC. There's enough good titles coming out for the 360 to keep the fanboys busy this fall!

To all the PS3 boys (and I do mean boys!!!) just relax and be thankful you'll have it before everyone else.
