Maybe the same way MS will turn a profit when they have to license blu ray?

All this stuff is just rumor at best right now. No one except MS and Sony know for sure. I think E3 is far too close for there to be any kind of reveal. E3 next year, sure.
I don't mind about internet connectivity from MS, that's no worse than most DRM PC games. Even now, there are lots of games for the 360 that "contact the server" when you start them up. Now, if they aren't internet connected I assume they just go on and load. How this will affect next gen? No idea.
The only thing that worries me is the rumor that was going around a couple of months back about no used games. I'm not fond of that. Probably half the games I buy are used. I'm not talking about $5 off a used compared to new game at Gamestop, but rather Amazon marketplace, etc.; places with good prices.
Either way, I'm not losing any sleep since there's nothing confirmed for now. I do look forward to solid information however.
