Gamespot reports that Sony’s Playstation 3, which won’t be properly unveiled until March of next year, will support Blu-Ray, the high-density disc format backed by Sony, Panasonic, and others. Arguably, the inclusion of DVD on the Playstation 2 really drove that format to success, so there’s a good chance that adding Blu-Ray to the PS3 will do the same for the new format — if consumers decide they really need a better, higher-resolution format, that is.
Blu-Ray’s major competitor is the HD-DVD format, backed by Microsoft and others.
