Well we all heard about Warner Brothers dropping the HDDVD Format which was a huge blow to HDDVD. Warner Brothers has probably one of the biggest collection of titles available. Then you notice HDDVD players dropping in price like no other hoping to get more audience in a last ditch effort at life. Well before I was uncommitted still in either camp, but I might consider jumping into Blu-Ray now because of reports saying that ADV Films even will be going to Blu-Ray. That was probably the last nail in the coffin to HDDVD in my book and I might as well look into getting a PS3 soon.

I’m a firm supporter of Blu-Ray now, as much as it kills me. The lack of marketting is what killed HD-DVD in my opinion, and the terrible $3MM superbowl ad is a fine representation of everything wrong with their campaign.
If you’re going to get a PS3, get one soon while the 80gig is still in production so you can at least retain the full backwards compatability. The next version won’t have any, save for PS1 games.
I was thinking about getting the rumored upcoming 120 gig version with the proper dual shock controllers included. I have a 180 dollar rebate for Costco coming soon so I’ll wait I think.
