you hold off on buying the HD-DVD player.
I prefer HD-DVD to Blu-Ray, and I truly believe that it is the superior format, but the format battle really could go either way at this point. It would be a shame to stick yourself with the loser. I'd wait another year at least to see how things shake out. In the mean time, a progressive scan DVD looks awsome on a widescreen HDTV.
does allow for interactivity, no one has used it yet as their haven't been any "new release" movies released yet.
HD-DVD discs are encoded at the same 1080p bit rate as Blu-Ray.
The Toshiba HD-DVD player that is currently on the market has a maximum output of 1080i unfortunatly it ships with a default setting of 720p, because that is the max resolution of about 80% of the HDTVs currently being sold.
The output can be changed to 1080i in the settings ...

Well done.
shift their IP fairly often, so that wouldn't neccesarily work. Fair dinkum thought, though.
20,000 stores with 20 each. Thats about how it averaged out for the 360 launch. Just pare off stores to allow for any online orders that are allowed. Some people with preorders waited till nearly March to get them, because the stores oversold the supply.
but I like driving games.

and it's been used by retailers for about 25 years. If you had any kind of business education you'd know that. What do you do? Work at a Quikee-Stop? No even their clerks would know that. I'm guessing that despite your protestations otherwise, you're actually just another obnoxious 12 year old trying to fake out the online world. Guess what? Online they CAN tell you're a dog.
Sony announcing there won't be any 1080p games (except maybe the upgraded GT4) for the forseeable future?
about half the number of launch units that they had for the 360, assuming they have the same sort of relationship with Sony that they have with MS. That would mean, in my area, the WalMarts will have about 6 or 7 each, Best Buy/CircuitCity will get 20 to 30 each, and EB/Gamestop will get 2 to 5 each. And keep in mind those numbers will undoubtably be split betwween the two versions.
Later, I'm off to pick up my copy of Test Drive.
and it may be wishful thinking, but when I prepaid for the game a few days ago, I was given a release date of November 2. That isn't "the holidays".
It replaces Media Extender very well, but a dash board update will be needed on the 360 to stream videos.
apply some of the math they don't teach in public schools anymore.

573 total games 267 BC = 46.59%
I have to run XP Pro on my systems because my home network is a full domain. This will be great until Vista launches.
a large percentage of the sales will be parents and grandparents buy ing gifts for their kidlings. They will buy which ever next-gen console is available, because they see Hi-Def and video game in the ads. They aren't spending all their spare time sitting around looking at video game forums. Very few to no PS3s will be available. Fanboys will be sitting in lines for months, snapping them up as they come off the delivery trucks, untill production and delivery hit full swing.
573 games available, see the XBox wikipedia entry.
Almost 300 are currently BC. That comes to approximatly 50% (and increasing every couple of months). At least argue with accurate numbers.
but I expect better by release.
I'm only refering to the HD-DVD. If your going to get a PS3, enjoy some Blu-Ray movies, but again, because the winner hasn't been settled yet, rent your movies rather than buy them, so you don't risk being stuck with the loser for video playback.
