There is no solution. If they adopt Blu-Ray all their previous ranting about how DVDs were big enough and Digital Downloads were the future would have turned out to be PR Spin in the face of a better unit of the competition.
If they don't adopt Blu-Ray, all the Xbox games will be gimped. If they only adopt if for movies, the game are still gimped, and the Blu-Ray drive is gimped to. If they adopt for games and movies and make it mandatory then existing owners are shafted, if they adopt if and make it optional, developers won't use it.
Given the PS3 and Xbox are the same price, why would gamers even bother with this minefield, when you can get a PS3, that's got Blu-Ray for movies and games as standard? The games are better too.
