360 can upscale your regular dvd without having to purchase the HD-DVD add on. So whats the difference here? You are only buying it for use of watching HD-DVD and these HD-DVD movies you can get are only those LEFT in the market now. No more future release...and are you sure you want to spend money on what that are left? Seems like you choice will be limited. I rather save money and watch upscaled regular DVD.
The manner some of you mention seems like 50 bucks is cheap skate. I feel so...

2007 had been a patchy year for PS3 with many being critical of its 'unneceesary specs', higher price and low games.
But one thing that has been consistent is that Blu-ray continues to outsell HD-dvd every week. What does this prove? PS3 helps to propel sales of Blu-ray movies. This seems to be the only explaination since HD-DVD has claimed to sell more standalone players, PS3 excluded.
This shows people who buy PS3 for both games and movies.
Movies sales seems to be mor...

Last year debates and argument between which is better, PS3 or 360 have escalated to a free publicity for the format war between Blu-ray and HD-DVD.
Sales of movies disc for 2007 have shown that consumers have chosen the better but more expensive Blu-ray format. With PS3 able to handle both games and movies, coupled with the fact that it is also cheaper than other standalone Blu-ray players, means that people who bought the console, use it as a player too. If not, why didn't HD-DVD mo...

Of course difference in storage space will make a different. With a higher bitrate and storage capacity, we are able to tap on a bettter technolgy.
Digital download MAY be popular in future but its only possible when more of our homes are connected on a greater bandwidth to make download easier and less time consuming. How long are you going to wait to download a 25GB HD movies? I don't think HD is going to stop at 25GB-50GB. In future, we might be seeing 100-200GB maybe. Not many peop...

Hey man. I absolutely agree with what he is saying. Whether you like his movies is not an issue here (just some HD-DVD fanboys being sore losers). I emphasis SOME, not all fanboys. I respect the opinions of people. If these HD-DVD fanboys are to tell me "I like HD-DVD because its more affordable", Fine, i accept that. But do not go around bashing and sh1tting like nobody business cause you are acting like one here.
This guy directed "Transformers" and HENCE he has e...

Ya. When PS3 was launched, MS mentioned about consoles should be about gaming...now with all these, they will be shooting themselves in the foot. Bang, Ouch. Isn't what hdmi, hd drive in a console similar to PS3?
Well, i hope none of the people who blasted PS3 for having all these "unneccesary hardware", forcing the format on you or the higher price, buying the new xbox SKU. Now that more people are aware of the benefits of hdmi and high defination, these people then came out...

Well, i hope none of the people who blasted PS3 for having all these "unneccesary hardware" buying the new xbox SKU. Just stick to what they believe is that hdmi and high defination is redundant and DVD is absoluely enough. Personally, i believe that they must have o...

This is not the first i came across a few articles mentioning MGS4 coming to 360. Come on, Konami has clarified that a few times.
Is it simple english so difficult to understand? Then you should be staying at home to study more instead of playing games. If you really loves MGS4, go buy a PS3 or you would prefer Konami to talk with you in japanese.
I have never seen people spaming about HALO3 coming to PS3. Maybe HALO4 is going to PS3 in future since bungie has left MS. Why sta...

Ya. I hope none of these 269,000 people had been the ones who attacked PS3 of having blu-ray drive. Not to mention that they argued a console is for games and never to be used for movies and what having a DVD player that can upscaled is enough blah...blah...blah or else they are eating their words now.
Still i believe they are going to regret soon cause HD-DVD is a format.....dead soon.

Ya. HD-DVD camp is also guity of double standard. Not counting the PS3 as a standalone player when statistic does not work in their favor, while includung them for ratio of movie disc sales per player.
Come on. Both sides are giving free movies.
But to me, HD-DVD is a struggling format. Sooner or later...Dead.
Stop dreaming only in the north american market where is still struggling. ELSEWHERE the format is already put to the sword.

EA is not helping the PS3 with the current games that were ported over. A massive dissapointment.
I agree that we should forget the talk about PS3 in troubles. Better take care of problems in your own backyard. EA is beginning to lost my trust if they contine to port sub-standard PS3 games.

Agree. BD is the most supported format worldwide in Europe and Asia. In fact seems to me, its only in the American market that the format war is still prolonging. Elsewhere, the BD sales is not only winning but trashing HD-DVD.
Its annoying that HD-DVD is prolonging the format war and its only the consumers like us who end up losing.
