Well, I hate being the messenger delivering bad news, but I still think, it's important enough to discuss about.
According to this:
http://www.ehomeupgrade.com/entry/2100/could_the_playstation
PS3 will have single speed BlueRay drive that has transfer rate of 36 (Megabits per second) or 4.5 MBps (Megabytes per second). Compared to that, A 12x DVD, such as the one in the Xbox 360, transfers data at rates between 8.2 and 16.5 MBps for an average of around 13MBps. With the next generation games, the size of textures will easily quadruple and slow transfer speed will lead to longer loading time, (~3 times more in this case).
Would Sony swallow the extra cost and put 2x BluRay drive to match with 12x DVD transfer rate? I don't believe it cost 1000 but Im selling it for 100 claims. I don't believe Sony lose any more selling PSP units at $250. So, we'll see how they'll finalize their hardware for the next big battle.
