    it seemed to me to always be thus, Sony had the playstation 3 with in built blu ray player and got stung after the Betamax debacle last time out so of course they were going to win this one! Anyway the future will be in dual players. Interestingly enough though I’, still not going to buy a blu ray player until I can put the firmware updates on myself or until they are final final build. I don’t want an obsolete player!

    tis a shame, I remember seeing comparison screenshots and HD DVD had the edge. DVD and DivX still totally fine for me though, don’t have a High Def TV and am not likely to get one until my old 29″ Black Box of death finally keels over.

    So M$ are looking into licensing Blu Ray for XBox 360 then? How will that one work exactly If the current games are on High Def DVD?
