As for myself,i would rather think that Blu-Ray will just win in the next Gen Storage Media war.
In deed,Blu-Ray movies are more popular than HD DVD movies.
And the most important is,if i purchase a PS3 with the price USD499 or USD599,i can get to enjoy my PS3's games bundle with the Blu-Ray movies.
I have a Xbox360,but never thought to purchase a HD DVD player for it.

Xbox360 is actually good enough for me,
i get to enjoy plenty of games that i love with my 360.
like GRAW,Dead Rising,and many more.
But the main problem is still the 3rod.
Still don't get how could Microsoft design a console like this.
It's just an unacceptable hardware's designed problem.

Is it true?
but since the PS3has included the Blu-Ray player inside,
i really don't think the movie quality can be affect by the player.
In deed,even u use a damn lousy China brand DVD player,
it won't down grade ur DVD movie.

Bro,20GB PS3 are also sell for USD499,
can use for playback ur Blu_Ray Movie too.

For me,since the next gen HD format war was just begun,
seems like its too early for us to clarify who will be the winner.
Anyway,because of playstation 3,i think i will support the Blue-ray format no matter what.

But same issues here,
Even though how lousy Proton is,
and how expensive it is,
no one will force u to go and buy it.
As a user/buyer,
when the cash is still in our own hand,
we hold the final decision,
So,why should we be a hardcore supporter for HD DVD or Blue-ray then?
Come on,man,just enjoy wat u hav now.
And the others,just let it be lor.
