It's not going to happen. An internal drive would raise the cost too much, and Sony's not going to subsidize either an external drive or an internal drive (Toshiba subsidized the external HD-DVD drive). By the time Blu-Ray drives are cheap enough that the cost increase from dual-layer DVD is negligible, it'll be time for the PS4/Xbox 720 generation (and MS will put a Blu-Ray drive in that one).
