<<Just think, if every Sony Playstation box comes with a rebate coupon inside good for $30 off the purchase of a Sony HiFi drive. And, think if Sony is able to integrate the 200MB HiFi drive into the Playstation line, just like Nintendo is planning to release a 64MB floppy drive of their own. The possibilities are endless.>>

The last thing Sony will ever do is integrate a HiFD drive into Playstation. You yourself have made the endless argument that zip
will never be a standard among other reasons, because software will never be distributed on it. Oh, so will HiFD be different??? Especially when Playstation games come on a standard CD???

Even if you incorporate the drive along with the CD you open up the whole piracy issue. Hey they could have their own "Nomai" thorn in
their side then. Anyway, that is why Nintendo chose a proprietary format and so will Sony, if the ever do go in that direction.
