Dont forget that the PS3 will have a Blu-Ray DVD player.

Nobody knows what the price will be yet.... but, if Sony plans to use the PS3 as a weapon to win the format war, they'll take a huge loss on it. It will be cheaper than all the other HD-DVD players; Im guessing it will be about $500-600.

The PS3 release is what I am waiting for, before I decide what HD-DVD player to buy. I'm hoping I can get the PS3, and get a HD console for free with my HD-DVD player.

The best thing about HD-DVD? We'll finally get to see how clear true & uncompressed HD is. It will be concrete proof of how much the providers are compressing the current HDTV signals. Its awful really!
