there's some consumer players out now which is HDVD and bluray combo
for the drive I dunno

actually both format have the same wavelength laser, I guess the laser should be the same in color too hmm.gif
it's just the circuit and decoding hardware that differentiate them

as PS3 become cheaper, u ll see the bluray getting more popular, some people buy PS3 just to watch blu-ray movie, yet it's still a great bang for the buck laugh.gif

Yep..actually both HD-DVD and BD-DVD also using Blue ray laser for shorter wavelength.

But last i read no format is winning. People who bought PS3 not neccessary buy any Blue movies(ahem!)...and i believe one of the previous Blue Ray supporter studio also support HD-DVD format now (can't remember who)....so it's still 50-50.

One thing's for sure. PS3 is the LOSER in the videogame war this generation. That is for certain.
