Edit: Righto, since my Original post has already been done. Let me ask this:

Since the 360's HD-DVD disc can only hold around 30GBs and the the Blu-Ray Discs can hold around 50GBs will this lead to the PS3 being better in the long run?

well if talked with you befoe ill add some other stuff as well . Free online play any game you can play on line now yearly fee like the 360 has  sevral reports including  Financal Times "who predicted Itunes movie rentals and sevral other stuff" sony will be coming out with a HD movie service later this summer this will also go with tv shows as well here's a link http://kotaku.com/382329/la-times-s...ve-this-summer. ANd then theres the home factor Home will have another close invite beta this summer and open beta in the fall i belive this could possibly change how we play video game online for consoles and  sony still has sevral key exclusives such as Metal gear 4 Haze Killzone 2 Little big planet Final Fantasy XIII and sony has rights to the next Rockstar game as well.  and finaly if your looking for a blu ray player the ps3 is the best blu ray player on the market due to the fact that with the firmware updates it can always be up to date with the recent blu ray profiles to.

oh and the 80 and 60 gig ps3 still play ps2 games as well

yeah the ps3 blu ray does hold the advantage rockstar said they just barley made everthing fit on to 1 disc for 360 i belived they may had to compress a few things and what not   and metal gear 4 will show how much better the blu ray is  for example Heavenly swords  has a audo track of 10 something gigs alonehttp://digg.com/gaming_news/He...alone?offset=51   now if you put that on a normal dvd thats all the space right there and sonyy is suposivly working to on a quad layer 200 gig blu ray disk alone as well

360 doesn't run on HD-DVD disks, it just uses DVD's.

The 360's HD-DVD is an external option. I believe Microsoft are currently trying to sort out a blu-ray player deal.
