Playstation 3 will use Blu-Ray technology

In another sign that we will link to almost anything with the words 'Playstation 3', check this one out. The next generation of Sony's baby beast will yield the power of the Blu-Ray. For those who have a life and don't need to keep up with these things, Blu-Ray is a disc format that Sony is hoping will be the next big thing in digital media storage. Many believe that DVD took off quickly because the Playstation 2 provided compatibility with the format. That's questionable, but Sony sure hopes it's true. Because if it is, then this time around they'll be reaping the benefits— it just so happens that they have a financial stake in the technology. Go figure. You have to love these guys. Really. They make Microsoft look like amateurs sometimes.
