so.. according to those specs the primary format is DVD.. so no HDDVD or blu-ray disks? =(
Well seeing as how there really isn’t a solid standard yet, I couldn’t see them picking one and hoping it wins. I’m sure a DVD will be big enough for stellar games. Too bad it won’t play HDDVD movies but that is a lil far off. Maybe later units will have it to compete with the PS3 when it launches.
